I think Crosswind's word - "Plonker" - sums this chap up quite nicely!
In addition to all of Shopper's excellent analysis, I'd also like to point out to our plonker that, in the unlikely event that he ever finds anyone suitably impressed with his time on the Reims Rocket (with that all-important variable pitch prop) to give him a "proper" job, my guess is that he will sit there for most of the flight with his arms crossed while the autopilot does most of the flying. I know that autopilots need monitoring, but I'd guess (having never flown with anything more than a single-axis autopilot) they need a little less monitoring than the average student?
