Rich white guys? How about people who simply work for a living as most
home builders are? Since you're a glider pilot you must be a "rich
white guy" too. Or are you a female, or a different color, or does it
really matter? Not to me. Is that you, Dave?

My point was that Jim Bede was always promising more than he could
deliver and asking the hopeful builders to hang in there.

down to the homebuilt GA market. Defense contractors, sure.

Sounds a bit like the BD-5, doesn't it?

Plus, they are selling 'vapor ware', what a concept! You give us $$$'s

(but we promise you a spot in the line, maybe). Call back in a couple
of years. Oh, and buy our stock, will you?
