A few months ago I told the list about "Wang Chung".. I know one guy was pissed at me and left the group, has not been back..
To refresh I d like to remind you about Wang. I was a member of the Avid Flyer and Jabiru websites. A very good group of builders and flyers. We each told of our experiences to help others and also for that comrade.
After you have a few "years" of being a CFI, Commercial or Private with hundreds if not thousands of flying / building hours, you kinda know when someone makes statements which I ll call BULL SHIT.
Wang was a BS er.... He knew everything about Avids and Jabiru engines. I watched my computer screen and Wang gave new builders his expertise and guided them through the construction of their airplanes,,,
Something's just didn't seem right with his statements so I looked him up on the FAA roster and he WASN'T THERE....
From the list I met someone who actually knew Wang. Rick was Wangs "friend" but they had to give up on a partnership in an airplane because Wang really didn't know anything about building or flying. In fact Wang was about to head out to the local airport for his FIRST airplane ride...
So, here was this expert giving beginners the straight scoop on how to build and fly...
Then I got a call from the Jabiru dealer ( we are friends ) and was asked if I knew Wang. Apparently he was on that list telling everyone how to install their Jabirus....
Then on to the KitFox website he went. More BS....

We have Wangs here on the Zenith site. If your giving info to the list, know that what you say will be believed by some. You might even cause that big accident with your expertise..

One last quick one, then I ll go.
I owned a Cessna 172 for about seven years. I taught people to fly the thing as it was sooo easy to handle. On a website for newbie's I saw this CFI telling students how to fly the 172.. Some statements were a little out in left field so I asked him what was the recommended speed to land the 172. He typed the list and said the best speed for the 172 in landing is 96 MPH.....
Yep 96.......
How many new students went off thinking god had said 96. ????

Enough of my blah blah blahhhhh....
Sorry to type on and on. It just gets me going when I see EXPERTS telling everyone whats the right way to build and fly. ESPECIALLY when their name is WANG...
