Thank you CoftC, Its people like you who make want me to be a member of the aviation community. As a CVD person I have recently failed the first stage of testing for a class 1 and will be heading into Melbourne soon to see if i can some how pass the other tests available, which clearly do not have any application to flying a plane.
