This was a fun read. That being said mine is my initials and the # of my favorite baseball player when I was a kid, Gary Carter of the New York Mets (also played for the Expos).

Mine is out of necessity :) When I got my FIRST atm card I needed something I wouldn't forget so I used the first 4 of my last name and initials of first and middle name.



I have been given a nick of Stretch from playing softball because while I was pitching it seemed like everything was within my reach :) I am 6'4 and can cover a lot of ground without to much effort from the pitchers mound :)



I know, boring, but functional :)

Mine came from when I first started flying I had Thumbs In Training as the saying under my username on another forum. A fellow member pointed out to me the acronym for it was T.I.T so I decided to roll with it. The saying is just as true today as the day I started flying, my thumbs are constantly in training and will be until the day I stop flying.

well said!!! anyone who thinks that they have learned it all and know everything are doomed to fail. we are all, and should be, constantly learning, each day, from ourselves and others via self-reflection and observation. experience is what brings it all together.

C (forward slash) F = Stands for carbonfibre, in my day job I design and use high speed robots for injection molding machines, 13+ G's acceleration, working with allot of vendors in the industry I got a garage full of the stuff as obsolete end of arm tooling, love working with the stuff, with right tools its as easy as working with balsa, and I usually have allot of usefull bling on my models,



The german spelling is my prefference cause one of my vendors has a complete carbon modeling shop that acts as an offsite university coarse, proffesors are subsidized by the government as employees. Boeing has a manufacturing plant there as well, Bremen DE. like going in a modeling candy store. Autoclaves and a wall full of precision resin dispensing machines. Racks of cloths, tow, foams and knowledge all in one place, my bucket plane list of something giant scale gasser on the ama waiver list is gonna be loaded with the stuff.
