It used to annoy me that some people just couldn't get lift theory, but if you told them it was lift fairys that kept the aircraft up they grasped it instantly.
You can actually do the whole of the PPL with lift fairy theory.
Critical angle of attack = angle which the lift fairys fall over so the aircraft stalls.
etc.
O well didn't make the slightest difference to them flying the aircraft they did get a brief though that on no account were they to tell anyone else about lift fairy theory.
