You make that sound like a bad thing. Remember, a component failure in a car
is no big deal: you just pull over to the side of the road and stop, like I
did when the transmission in my Explorer died one memorable Sunday
afternoon. The same failure in an airplane is a major emergency, and will
get your name in the papers.

I'm a lot happier flying beind an O-200 than I would be a Rotax.
