CP,

Sorry to say, you are wrong. I work with kids involved in the PAL organization every year. Most didnt come to us to fly, we went to them. Its not evangelism, its not anything like that. Its adults reaching out to kids to help them find something they might like. I'm going to say it again as I have said before. I say the proof is in our results. We have had a lot of kids find the sport and stick with it through PAL. The money aspect is cheap. $300 bucks and a kid is in the air after he learns. They all learn on our dime and on our time, we donate it all. Its all part of being a mentor for todays youth. Believe it or not most of us who are sucessful all had a mentor in our life. Its how you learn and find things that you normally wouldnt find.

Flyerjoe,

Good for you. Great methods and as I just stated we all had a mentor at some point who helped us. Keep doing what your doing. The proof is in it.

I'm sure as has been the case through this whole thread, I will get some rambling, meaningless, hypothetical top down look on this telling me I am wrong.........I'm not. Spend some time with a kid and an airplane and see what happens...... Results are everything. Opinions are meaningless when you have great results.
