Please don't misconstrue these remarks to mean I have anything against
attracting mildly retarded pilots into soaring. Quite to the contrary, without them who would buy all the second hand PW-5's and Russia's? No, it's just the one's who are also sociopaths that I think we could do without. (Liam Finley) wrote in message . com... Soaring may indeed have many problems, but it's inability to satisfy a mildly retarded lathe-obsessed sociopath is not one of them. Unless you think the future of the sport lies in attracting large numbers of mildly retarded lathe-obsessed sociopaths, in which case Lennie's rambling thoughts are pure gold. |

Admit it - you have to be a little mental to wear strange hats, and spend hours
making circles in the sky going nowhere, landing out , getting sunburned and dehydrated - eventually dragging your exhausted body home long after dark - and claim this is recreation, and fun. Works for me, but I know any number who are convinced we are all barking mad...

Quite to the contrary, without them who would buy all the second hand PW-5's and Russia's? Hey, who are you calling MILDLY retarded? I do everything 100%... :P I've decided one small, good way to help get more interest is to get post-solo/pre-license students to fly as often as possible with licensed pilots. Split the cost, have the licensed pilot do all the flying from the backseat, and stay up a long time. Cheaper than dual, a challenge for the pilot trying to fly from the rear seat, and educational for the front seater/student. Also a great way to learn how to split duties (radio/traffic vs. stick fiddling). -- ------------+ Mark Boyd Avenal, California, USA |
