Do you feel a canopy control class would make your piloting safer?

If this question is directed at me...that is one of the best laughs I have had all day! Thanks for that!

Not really it was merely illustrative and lifted straight from the poll as quoted in your own post. It seems like a question anyone could answer at any time.

I see after having viewed some of your posts, you are given to argue. It isn't worth my time as you try to prove your point.
I am entitled to my opinion, just as you are. We will have to agree, to disagree.

Yes. I've taken AT LEAST one every year so far. I also sit through the basic courses whenever possible. Any pilot, experienced or not, who feels they don't need to sit through one of these every now and then needs a reality check.

The question merely asks if you think you would benefit from taking a class. It's still a valid question even if you're have done so in the past.

At a certain point of experience, the class might not be so very helpful for one's own flying, should still have value for learning how to help others.

So the poll is asking if people think CC courses have value, and whether or not it's a one time deal, in people's minds.
