    Major rant happening here..... beware!

    Security of Garage Door Openers

    This ^ Modern openers use a rolling code and are safer. Older fixed code ones are super easy to crack. I also have a Chamberlain MyQ that will send me a notification if the door is open more than 15 minutes.

    Average Dual Time Before Solo - I Know - Everyone is Different

    A good CFI is one that ensures you are safe to fly. Sometimes that costs more money. Mine did a debrief after every flight at $50 an hour and I was fine with that.

    Best-Worst As Seen On TV crap you bought

    I bought a set of Ginsu knives (from Amazon), but they were their higher quality line and they have worked out well. They were on sale. Their Chikara series. They got good reviews.

    Pilot wings and other stuff

    I didn’t read the whole thread (that’s my story), but when I was five and on a commercial flight, a stewardess (they were called that, then) gave me a wings pin.

    [N/A] Windows email client suggestions? [N/A]
