Alright, I'm gonna assume Slap is right on the devil's advocate thing, because this statement is just foolish.
Which one of the guys in this thread isn't willing to do this? Urchin? Morpheus? Widewing? Have you ever spent any time with any of these people in the DA?
Do you honestly think that if you asked them, "Hey, I can't figure out this evasive... Can I get on your tail and you pull it off so I can get it on film?" that they wouldn't oblige? Come on, get off it man. Take Widewing up on that offer. He'll give you his six. Or whatever angle you want to work on. His job is to help you get better.
Most everyone in this thread that is arguing against you has either taken me into the DA (From way back when I was AWFUL to now when I'm mediocre), wrote me emails/messages on what I'm screwing up and what to try, or helped me along in the help forum with some insight. ALL I HAD TO DO WAS ASK.
The only reason I haven't spent any time with some of the other people, is I NEVER ASKED. I know they've all helped someone else who did.
How you fly is not my business, true, but if you're going to insinuate that vets aren't serious about wanting to help others reach their level, I'm going to call you on it.
