This is where we differ. You're a salesman, I am an owner who sells.
Guess what very important piece of the customer/client cycle you
missed. it gave you away as a salesman, not an owner.

Collection.

First - I am not a salesman nor do I play one on TV. I did not even
stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

But you feel that you can lecture about sales without being one.
Interesting. Got any words of wisdom on plyometrics?

I do, but I'd have to have about six beers in me first.

Or I coudl do a Ken and cut and paste.


I must look it up and see what it is now.

To dullards like you? Sure.

I can go on about fission, if you'd like....

Yeah -- it's hard on the knees. What have you got next, FakeFlyBoy?


As a non-seller and a non-owner, you're the one that doesn't get it. A
transaction does not necessitate an exchange.

As a business owner, I make fer darn sure all my transactions include
money.

What business are you in that "collections" is your biggest concern?
Furniture rental?


I agree with a poster long ago that said your technique is to post
something stupid and then continually argue around it. Which leads me
to conclude you, sir, are an idiot.

GA is not mainstream from an awareness standpoint.

Agreed. It seems that the most frequent subjects of the press
coverage that GA receives are crash reports, and GA's alleged
potential as a terrorist tool.

But the 800 lbs gorilla in the room that no one is mentioning here is
our inate fear of, and the risk posed by, heights. That's probably
the first turn-off for those who bother to consider GA at all.

As an enticement for the uninitiated to consider becoming involved in
GA, Rod's new book with its friendly style may be useful, and I'm sure
it offers lots of sound advice and information.

Most people are nervous about climbing a 20 foot extension ladder, yet
most readily walk up a jetway to fly to Orlando.

I think the perception of height is very different in an airplane than
it is on a ladder, or a roof, or on belay.

My wife hates heights, but has flown. The thing she doesn't like are
the "bumps" that make the airplane feel like it's "falling."

I can't stand heights and exactly as you mentioned a 20 ft step ladder
makes me nervous. But I have never been afraid heights in an airplane
even one with an open cockpit.

That was until I took my first helicopter lesson in an R22 with the
doors off. The young instructor showed off a little and I was just about
to make him land so I could get the hell out then he handed me the
controls while in straight and level and I was fine until he took back
over to land.

On the ground we talked about it and then after lunch we were going up
again. When I strapped in I really pushed against the seatbelt hard in
all directions and was very secure that it would hold.

We took off and there was no problem. So this made me figure out that I
wasn't really afraid of heights I was afraid of falling.

Absolutely.

And it's a natural human reaction, which is a good thing.

Back to the original topic...

The sample pages for this book look much better -- better layout and
graphics, not as busy as the instrument manual.

Amazon isn't stocking this edition yet and the price is steep --
$64.95 plus s/h.

A close second and worth a look is the ASA Pilot Manual series.
Shopping around I purchased all three volumes for less than the price
of the Jepp Private Pilot book.

let me know
--
Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either!
I hesitate to add to this discussion because I'm not an instructor,
just a rather slow student who's not qualified to give advice that
might kill someone.

The truth. It isn't hard on the knees; plyometric training can be
applied universally to any neuromuscular, stretch-reflex response that
actions about a joint(s).

For instance, when you talk rapidly and waay too much. As in this
thread. We call that Yammermetrics.

Now, are you dying to ask me what I know about strength and power
training athletes? Remember the 10 industries I discussed earlier?
Before you started drinking?
