O>K> I give up ... I now find myself responding to drivel that has nothing to
do with why I joined the group (obtaining building tips and helpful info). In the
future I'll not clog the system ...
But for now: what attack? I know that continued darkness can induce
depression, but I didn't know that paranoia was also possible! Yes, the
manual is deficient! I found that out from a reliable source (at OshKosh)
PRIOR to my writing the check!! Eyes wide open; dove right in!
I read the "open letter" you linked to, and agree that no one can build an
airplane without some experience or professional help. That's why A&P
licenses are not earned by testing alone. Building is a "learning
experience" ... If you believe hype "to the letter", pour red wine on your new
wool carpet and wipe it away with the "magic cloth". D. Murphy responded
well when he indicated that knowledge of wrenches and screwdrivers was a
requirement. i.e. screwdrivers are never suitable as pry-bars, chisels, or
punches, and wrenches make bad hammers, pry bars, and bottle openers.
You will have a learning curve and find new ways to spend money on tools.
Now back to an open forum ... the manuals are deficient, Murphy is a for
profit organization; I'm aware, you're aware; every one is aware. The buyer
should always aware, and perfection is in the eye of the beholder.
I'm going to go and make metal pieces into an airplane!. On 2/21/2006 9:47
