Jim you might want to check out www.eaacharterschool.com - EAA has done
more with school curriculum than you seem to be aware of. |

I am aware. That is the Fox Valley program that reaches something on the
order of 1600 students. You have to "rent" the equipment and take a one day training course. That is problematic for the teacher in East Undershirt Alabama who will have to travel to Wisconsin to participate. Perhaps an expansion of that curriculum is the answer. I won't know until I get there. "Renting" equipment is always a problem when you are trying to expand a program. Doing it with tin cans, chewing gum, and kite twine has always been my goal. Thanks...

sleepy6,
the UL group here does great! Matter of fact is there are more of them than builders and owner's and restorers of certified aircraft. They are really good at sticking together to keep local airports from blocking them out. Myself I would like to see each chapter have a build project and all the members pitch in and build a plane...kids welcomed of course so maybe they will catch the flying bug as well. Would sure beat talking about where to get lunch!! ![]() Patrick student SPL aircraft structural mech "sleepy6" wrote in message ... Did you ever get around to decideing on your position about UL? |

The local chapters are really great in dealing with UL. I have been
welcome at every EAA group I have visited. I'm not so positive about the national level. Jim is running for national office so I asked his position ... especially in reguards to a petition for improvements to part 103. So far, I haven't seen any answer.

Sleepy ...
You sent me a long research project with a bad URL less than two weeks before Oshkosh. Why don't you just ask the specific question right up front so that I can deal with it?

Jim Jim, I don't know you (except for your informative, cut to the chase, stuff on here) but am sure glad that I posted off that chit for your EAA ticket to stand for office. You're my kind of guy with talk like that, I'll support anything that gets back to the basics, with affordable, fun, flying. Just making young people aware that building and flying is within their grasp, irrespective of income, social status or whatever, has to be a worthwhile objective.
