Justin, I for one, am very pleased to see such an inquisitive mind concerning aviation. It is young fellows such as yourself that keeps aviation going when us old farts are all gone. Mind you, I am only 47 so I plan on being around for quite some time. You remind me of my oldest son when he was 16, full of questions and never satisfied with a simple answer and always wanting to reinvent things. Well, my oldest son is now 26 and an Engineer Graduate of Georgia Tech, with honors I might add. I am told you are 16 to 17 years old and I think you are on track to being a great addition to the aviation world. There have been a lot of flames against you for asking questions which have obvious answers or easy sources to find the answers. For those who have flamed you, I think you deserve an apology. For those who have helped you, they need to be thanked. For those who were just picking at you...well, I hope they remember what it was like when they started aviation and especially building a plane. And, I am willing to bet none of them were 16 when they took on such an enormous task as building an airplane. Justin, keep asking your questions, keep learning, keep progressing and one day we will all be patting you on the back for doing such a good job. Never give up on your dream, and never let your dream give up on you. Keep it up and make us all proud to be associated with such an inquisitive mind. I see another engineer in the making!!!
