Does anyone have a suggestion on what material to hand out to
someone questioning me about flying? I'm not saying it happens
often, but while I'm working in my garage on my homebuilt someone
wanders in and asks questions about flying and building.
I'm not much of an explainer so I thought it would be nice to just
hand out a pamphlet that starts to explain and has some web addresses
already on it. You could tell someone where to look on the web, but I
would guess that out of sight out of mind come into play. I could take
them
flying but since I'm a member of a club, it's just not possible to get
a plane
on no notice.
So, anyone have an idea of what I could print out or send for to
hand out
to wanna be pilots?

Lou,

Before you start putting something together, is it possible that those
individuals are wanting to just start a conversation regarding something of
very special importance to you? Perhaps they are not really so interested in
flying that a handout would really be appreciated or used for that matter.
Of course, I have no clue as to who these individuals are or what their real
motives are so take my comment accordingly :-). It might be something along
the line of a neighbor asking how your kids are doing at college? They want
to start a conversation and are not the least bit interested in adopting
them - LOL.

I know that as a PP-ASEL, there is hardly a week goes by that someone isn't
asking me about flying and yet they have absolutely no interest in learning
how or even experiencing the thrill of being in a small single engine
airplane. All they want to do is engage in a friendly conversation.
