However, until we can motivate people to do the right thing (like pay a little more for an annual so the ADs get fixed, or work a little harder and charge a little more to fix the ADs before affixing your signature to the logs) the government is bound to regulate more, and more, and more..............
One question I would like answered is this: if the vref value of an aircraft is $16,250 does that mean the amount I should pay for an aircraft that is barely airworthy? How much should I add for one maintained by an owner who *cares* about the aircraft?
And just how much are you willing to pay for, and maintain, the "perfect" system and the "perfect" airplane, Rudolph? Obviously you already believe that you are getting ripped off and you don't even own an airplane yet! I would be willing to wager one could take a brand new airplane right off the assembly line to this mechanic of yours and it still would not pass inspection!
I hope that it is not your intent, but you are insulting a lot of people here with your calloused comments, Rudolph! If you really want our help and opinions, please come down off of that throne of yours? Please?
I am going to go and play with my $16,000 death trap now before I really say something I might regret! Oh Damn! I can't! I am still waiting for a spinner to replace the one I pulled for just a few cracks!
