An excellent example of how to learn by trial and error, and become an expert!

Just a few months back you used to call me for advice. When you realised that I had only theory and no practical experience of flying wings, you went your own way, by trial and error.

Many newbies on the forum just keep asking questions. They need to experiment like you.
Success comes to those who try, try, try.
Hope you take Baijal sir along for flying!

BTW, till Sanjay sir mentioned it, I never realized that your handle was short for bumble bee. Even though the clue was there!

If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.

@ KKI, AB, SR55

....thanks for your interest and kind words :bow:.....flying wings are fun indeed ;D

 there's so much to experiment, learn, copy  :giggle:........and improvise.

 Iyer Sir...we meet up for flying or otherwise quite often.......we had a great time few days ago along with another dear friend, Ashta....and hope to do this more often this season.

....as regards the handle....., yes its Bumblebee,minus the vowels.....around the time when I was watching Kill Bill at least once a week(2007) ;)

Edit: Best wishes for the new year !
