It always amazes me how often things were designed without any thought

future maintenance requirements.

I suspect your typical 30-40 year old piston single was designed mostly
to meet a sales price point. I also supect if you told the guys in the
factory who built the 1968 Arrow I fly that this plane would still by
flying 35 years later, they would have thought you were nuts.

Most things are made for and sold at a price point otherwise there would be
no such thing as different models.

The kettle I bought yesterday for $19.99 was made for a pricepoint as was
the $9.99 kettle.

The same for aeroplanes
