He was not appreciative of the fact I was in his face, but I had no intention of moving an inch. When he saw the fire in my eyes he called his brats and promptly left.

You are always going to run into the know it all person. Laugh at them and ignore.

Using the door of a J3 as a kids slide wouldn't go over very well with me either. I'm a big fan of the J3, learned in one and still put at least 100 hrs/yr on one. I'll give anyone a ride, but, won't tolerate any abuse.
