David,
I've been a member here for over 2 years, but as a rule I read/listen much more than I talk/post. You'll not find a greater talent pool, knowledge base, or just good all around people as you'll find here. I made it to Clinton this year and although I had never met anyone I was made to feel welcome. You'll enjoy this group and forum... ask anything you want and you'll get honest and direct feedback from people willing to share freely with a fellow pilot. Welcome to the club!
