Welcome buddy


Dont worry too much at being a noob . This forum seems quite relaxed with a fair bit of technical knowledge .
Just vote the P51 as the most overated fighter and you'll fit right in

Welcome, and enjoy the forums. You will find a wealth of info here, more than I have found on any other site. Happy posting.

Hello and welcome from England. No need to be nervous, Lucky's had his medication so you're quite safe!

1. There are no "hotshot" mods here.

2. The only people that get "bounced" (as you call it) are those that are:

a. Are insulting to other members of the forum.
b. Can't keep things civil.
c. Don't pay attention to the forum rules.

Now having said that. Welcome to the forum. I hope you like it here, and contribute to this forum.

Geez, already I'm in trouble. "bounced by a hotshot" was meant in an aviation context.
Aviation and Airplanes, I'm fairly comfortable around 'em. Internet social type sites, not so much. Anyway, you folks appear to be awful friendly, and I WAS just joking. I get nervous when I see numbers AND letters in the same list.

Lotsa good stuff on here, thanks for being so nice as well. I'll keep reading!

You're really not in trouble...... Adler just pointed out some things. Calm down a bit.

Nothing like mixing one liquid that will render you unconsious, and another one that will loosen you up, all at the same time!
