Don't know, but the specs for SO have changed several times. It's probably
time we should go ahead and institutionalize SOME model or other to be the
default "easy beginner" class. P-24? Don't know, are those props still
easy to find?

Yup, from bulding AMA cubs in several classrooms, apparently as long as an
adult is providing excess energy to make everything work easily, there
will always be plenty of takers for the fun parts. For some, the only fun is
in launching, not even in winding. For a very few, the only fun was in
watching, not even launching! The goal is to winnow through a population (not
necessarily kids) to find those who realize that fun can be found within
personal initiative leading to accomplishment. I also did LPP demos in
about 500 classrooms. In many of those, I told them about local indoor and
(riskily) put my phone number on white board encouraging students to have
their parents check us out, so to speak. No results.
Rambling: Guerilla flying--it's exposure, something I've tried. The
problem I had (or thought I had) was I wanted to put a card in anyone's hand who
stopped to talk about what they were seeing. But that's asking to be
caught/sanctioned on a potentially more serious level.
