do not archive
"Randy, if you really want to test this thing, try saying something like "I would like to try an unimproved engine" or something like that. Then you will know if it works, I can guarantee it. And, you would start a very interesting dialog. Not too many of us are going to get into "test". Do not Archive, LRM www.skyhawg.com."
OK, it's New Years Eve and you asked for it!
The attached definition I found in a 1953 Webster's Collegiate Dictionary
When I read it I couldn't dismiss the uncanny similarity between the levels of "fools" and the levels of Homebuilders and Pilots.
But I am having trouble determining how the various definitions apply.
At my home airport we have pilots and homebuilders who have:
"lack of understanding and reason"
"absence of powers which when developed make for intelligence"
On our tower frequency we have many who are:
"incapable of coherent speech"
Watching them takeoff and land, they are obviously incapable of:
"avoiding the common dangers of life"
We have many who are completely supervised:
"in his work and recreation" mostly by their wives!
But after reading these definitions, I now know what it means when people come up to me and say:
"Randy, you are a "NATURAL" Pilot! I always answer; "Duh, Uh, thank you, thank you very much, Duh".
I've been trying to determine if the various levels of homebuiders, i.e.:
Kitbuilder; building a professionally designed and furnished kit,
Scrapbuilder; building a professional design from plans
Amateur; who designs and builds his own airplane with no training, education or experience,
correspond with any of the attached definitions?
What a surprise that there are five distinct levels of "fools"!
Where do we all fit in?
Happy New Year and apologies in advance,
Randy, Las Vegas, a "Natural" writer
