It seems to me that more people build aircraft up north than they do down
south... There's probably a couple of reasons for it... Perhaps having winters that don't give you that many flying days might be a factor along with having basements to do a good part of the building process in might also be another factor... Good theories. There have been quite a number of books written about why the world's dominant, most productive and innovative civilizations (at least in the last several hundred years) have all been in colder climates. I always figured it's because they had to stay busy to keep warm. ("Jeez, Fritz, it's really *cold* out today." "Brrrr....sure is, Hans...hey, let's go conquer France!") So, 500 years ago, these guys would've been out pillaging nearby villages. Today, they're building RV-10s...? ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
