If having these qualities is elitism, well that can be used to our
benefit too.


Elitism is thinking wrongly that soaring is the only thing that
requires them. Many other activities require them in far greater
amounts.

Never claimed to think that. Didn't read it here either.
Many activities only require a Visa card. Maybe its not milling a new
u-joint, or receiver for an M1 ;-), but soaring takes more effort than
reaching into your wallet at the mall.

So does playing the Pachelbel Canon in D on a keyboard, but when I'm
done, that cup of coffee is still gonna cost me 69 cents.

Get the guy that has to talk down any particular plane or class of
planes below what he has, to shut his mouth, and the perceptions of
elitism might go away a little, as well as boost retention, neither of
which would be a bad thing. Trying to capitalize on what's very
plainly a false image would be a mistake. "Fun and affordable" might
have better success, but there seems to be a problem with affordable.
