If you take off in a plane you know needs to be repaired, you are violating the FARs as well as the rental policy. If anyone takes of in a plane that needs to be repaired this armchair pilot and lurker says you are dumber than a sack of hammers and a prime candidate for the darwin award. That depends on the repair. Would you take off in a rental plane with a badly-fit door seal that makes a whistling noise? What about one with a U/S ADF when you're flying VFR? Neither one of those is Darwin material or a violation of regs (since the aircraft is still airworthy). All the best, David

I taped the tail back together on a 0-1 (Bird Dog) and we flew the bird back from a Special Forces Camp to Home Plate in 1968. Great stuff. Wouldn't be without it.
