[NSRCA-discussion] OJ Stillman Pattern contest flier

[Ron Van Putte]

Not a problem.  I've been doing that for years in the local schools.   
I love to tell them how airplanes really fly, which is sometimes  
contrary to what is taught in some full-scale flight schools.  My  
favorite thing to tell them is, "Just because something explains the  
physical phenomena, it doesn't mean that it's correct."  As an  
example, I tell them that light bulbs are not really light-emitting,  
they are actually "dark-suckers".  You know:  It's lighter close to  
them because the dark-sucker works better close up and it's darker  
behind a post because the dark-sucker can't suck light from behind a  
post as well as it can from the front side.  The kicker is when I ask  
them what a burned-out bulb looks like.  The dark spot on it means  
that it's sucked up all the dark it can.

I love to mess with their young minds.  It teaches them not to trust  
adults.
