It may be selfish on my part, but I think a forum on power plants and airframes is great. But could you add one on electronics/instrumentation? That would be very useful to me and though others may not be that far, it would be great to have diagrams, notes, photos etc. so that when we get to that

Very Nice. The main thing we all forget is how young these people are and how fast the reality of service like this makes them grow up. I am the assistant scoutmaster of B.S.A. Troop 244. Less than 2 years ago we had a young Eagle Scout in our troop. His nickname is "Bigfoot" because he is 6'4"
