So for those who think there is no value in this forum. In the recent "Increase in Weight demands an increase in Power" thread, I put my hand up and said I dont understand some stuff. I am currently studying for my BAK exam, so the timing was great for me to get a better understanding of weight and balance stuff. Some answers made me go off and do some more research which in turn resulted in my Google search turning up some more good info from pprune.
So there is this assumption, that if you are learning to fly planes, you must be loaded with cash. Truth is, with most people this is not the case. So places like this that give up info freely are a great resource.
FWIW, my club has an example test with 150 odd BAK questions. I did it 2 days ago an managed 87%. A pass if I was sitting the real exam, but left me unsatisfied. If it were not for pprune, I doubt I would have managed that. I have only done about a week of solid study, but this forum has provided a lot of info (mostly through google searches) that has helped me along.
So if you think you contribution is insignificant, you are wrong. I have taken a lot from here, both in theory and practical knowledge. Keep it up folks, us noobs appreciate it.
