portsharbourflyer - I have nothing against maths and physics. The thing is that when you focus only on memorizing formulas, than you are simply not prepared to the real challenges. Unfortunately, our educational system here looks mainly like that and that is why I am hesitating. Just two days ago I saw very interesting interview with concerned University professor who gave a great example. He said that students here learn hard formulas for AC and DC. At the same time, students abroad learn how to install the socket without being shocked. Now, what is more practical?
appfo09 - thanks for your comments. You are right, gliding experience gave me a lot when it came to piloting powered aircraft. I found it pretty easy, especially precise landings (both on the runway and while doing outlanding simulations what is quite normal thing in gliding
)
