> This is great, I've been wanting to get into aviation for some time but the barrier of entry is steep.

There are some hobbies where starting without any prior knowledge and learning through a process of trial and error is fun and rewarding.

IMHO aviation is not one of these hobbies. It tends to be rather unforgiving of the "error" part of the equation, especially if the error is something like "wings not correctly attached". :)
