I started this blog to share my experiences as I reach towards my goal of flight. I need to make it clear that there is a lot of the story that's missing. There are a few negative experiences that I've had and I kept those experiences off of here. I do not want to hurt anyone's feelings and I certainly don't want anyone mad at me. That being said, I've started to change my thoughts on that.
I've learned a ton from the negative experiences that I've been through. There is a lot to take away from these experiences and those experiences will make me a better and safer pilot once I am one. For now, these experiences will keep me alive and pain free for much longer. When you think about it that way, why am I not sharing these experiences?
There is still the problem of having people upset but I've come up with a simple solution. I'll simply not mention any names. If the people associated with my negative experiences end up reading this blog, they'll know that I'm talking about them, but their name won't be mentioned. There is still a possibility that they get upset, but I hope they respond in a mature and reasonable way. I hope they will take my thoughts as constructive criticism and that they will consider changing their behavior and habits to better themselves and the people around them.
With all of this in mind, be prepared to hear a few more stories coming through the pipe.

Mark,
Though I still feel and act very young (my wife says like a 5-year-old), I'm twice your age. I used to tip-toe through life, not wanting to upset anyone, but your experiences may save someone else.
When I was selling my Airbike, I had a lot of competition that felt it was okay to lie to buyers to sell their planes. Though it wasn't a safety factor, many would say their planes were 103 compliant. They were not. I called them out as often as possible.
