nope, Ive been, not only aware of, but have actually thouroughly enjoyed
my
eccentricities my whole life. I see it as a part of my personal and
national
identity. One of those eccentricities, is a penchant for doing stuff just
because other people tell me its too dangerous, a waste of time, or not
worth
doing, and more often than not, it has been a waste of time, but at the
moment, time is not an issue, and on occasion, i ve found the new learned
perspectives and lessons, have been far more useful somewhere and some
other
time later. Occasionally ive had the pleasure of proving people wrong, and
i
find that very very satisfying.

you have a most decerning bin! As i understand it, in its time it flew as
well if not better than some or most of its rivals. A Spitfire was the
same
in its time, but no one would consider using that design for its purpose
any
more, because it has been somewhat superceded by technology. Technology is
just the science of tools. You sound young, someone who probably cant
imagine
a world without computers, mobile phones, and package holidays to the
'Costa
Del Sol', so you dont have any real perspective on technological advances.
If
these terribly difficult and technologically prehistoric aircraft had not
been developed, and flown, you wouldnt have the aircraft available to you
today, in the same way as if your dad had been a puff, you wouldnt exist.

Hmm, an unusual analogy! A whore would no doubt 'F*ck' quite well, so i
suppose if thats what i wanted i might consider getting one. Necrophilia
is
not my thing, so digging one up wouldnt work for me, and as for the
voltage,
Sadism isnt my thing either, but,,,, each to their own i suppose !

I disagree

Possibly, but it is my time.

thats info i can use, thank you.

Its a bit like doing one of those home learning jobbies. I m learning
about
model technology, and cos of my previous experiances, im not starting with
learning to spell my name correctly. Clearly you arnt someone who relishes
a
challenge, or you find it difficult to accept that there are people who
still
do, and you cant understand why, but, I 'm not afraid to fail, and so i m
not
afraid to try.
You sould try comparing technologies sometime. Drive an old MGBGT, or a
70's
2 stroke triple if your into bikes. Ask yourself if you find your way
around
without your satelite navigator, using a map and a compass, and see which
ones batteries run down first
