Howdy Lin,
Thanks much for registering and welcome aboard.
I've reluctantly had to triage your situation to the back burner to deal with the rapidly unfolding collapse of the 33 year long hang glider weak link Ponzi scheme but I'll pick up where I left off as soon as possible - assuming I don't either die or exhaustion or go stark raving mad first.
Anyway...
The sport REALLY needs people like you - but don't expect to win any popularity contests if you decide you wanna do something to help fix it.
Also, Regardless, In the meantime...

Trust NO ONE in this sport but yourself. And only trust yourself after you've exhausted all other options. You've walked into a minefield of a flavor of aviation that's spent the better part of four decades honing its skills and maximizing its efficiency in dodging accountability, attacking and destroying competence, quality, character, decency whenever and wherever they rear their ugly heads, and shifting as much blame on its victims as it can get away with.Zack C - 2010/12/13 04:58:15 UTC
I had a very different mindset too back then and trusted the people that made my equipment. Since then I've realized (largely due to this discussion) that while I can certainly consider the advice of others, I can't trust anyone in this sport but myself (and maybe the people at Wills Wing).
