David, Thanks for sending out the note with the clarifications about charging for instruction in an experimental. I'm currently working on my CFI, and would like to do some instruction with some of the local homebuilt crowd once I earn it, so it's good to see what you sent. It's a shame that the regulations are written in legalise, and not in some form of the language that we can all understand. I read once, and this was about fighter pilots, that they're intelligent, but tended not to be "intellectuals". I feel like intelligent people use their mind as a tool, and intellectuals use their mind as a weapon. I don't like intellectuals very much, and I have the feeling they're the folks who write most of our regs. I wish they'd let pilots and mechanics word the regs, maybe we could all understand them a little better. As far as eating crow, - no way! You were standing up for what you believed was right, I gotta respect that! Also, you wanted to make sure people didn't get crossways with the feds, I certainly applaud you for that, too! Keep up the good work!Gary Meadows________________________________________________________________________________
