The point being made, Vincent, is that most of us seem not to have the
Traditional Chinese font installed, so your name is coming across as a bunch of high-bit ISO8859-1 characters. Stick around and enjoy. If you make a trip to the US, take $50 with you, go to an airfield, find a flying school, and ask for an introductory ride. Your life will change. "Paul Tomblin" wrote in message ...

$50 for an introductory ride? how economical!
actually how is it about? P.S. : you know, I am a Chinese and my English is very bad... very often, I cannot express my idea accurately in English. If you don't understand my English for the post in the future, please kindly ask for my elaboration. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. "David Brooks" ¼¶¼g©ó¶l¥ó ...

I'm guessing that you mean what an introductory flight is like. They will show you the controls and tell you how to use them and talk with you for a while. That takes ten to twenty minutes. You will then sit in the left seat (that's the pilot's seat), and an instructor will sit next to you in the right seat. He or she will tell you what to do. Some schools will have the instructor take off and then let you fly the plane for a while. Then they come back and land. Other schools let you do all of the flying, but the instructor keeps his hands and feet on the controls during takeoff and landing to help you out. The flight usually lasts 20 minutes or so.
