How widespread was knowledge of sword use in the middle ages? Did most men know how to handle a sword fight? Or was sword fight a skill mostly reserved for knights / professional guards & warriors? Similarly, how widespread were alternate weapons? Can you briefly comment on which weapons were most frequently owned / used, and which ones were rarer? You've mentionned the flail is mainly useful while horseriding, and I assume most people did not own a horse so its use was probably rarer? Did most people owned a claymore, a long sword, a short sword, etc...?

Wow! I'm very impressed by how detailed your answer was! Fascinating. Thank you very much, sir! If I was in the UK I would have loved to join your school especially considering there's no better teacher than one who has a passion in what he teaches. - Cheers

So you can't actually cross the Atlantic. Bummer. Do you need special permits if you wish to fly your plane to Mexico / South America?

How much experience / training do you have with mechanics and when / how did you learn it?

For what kind of weather is your plane suitable? Will you be able to use it in winter in Canada / Northen European countries?

What would the flight range of the plane be, with 3 passengers and with 0 passengers?

Ah cool... personally I'd love to use that plane to fly all over the world, particularly travel across Peru / Chili / Argentina / Brazil and fly over the Andes and the Amazon. Although if you crash in the Andes, it's GG.
