![]() "Morgans" wrote in message ... after looking at the available price designs, I started thinking "how int the world would a person at minimum wage afford a plane?" You can't. Flying is for smart people. Smart people get more education, so they can get above minimum wage jobs. seems kind of self defeating then doesn't it? avaiation groups want more people in their groups, but price planes in the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollar categories. On the troll-o-meter, this one isn't even a three. troll? Ha. Tater Schuld A.S. of E.E. Member of EAA Member of NAR (not nra) President of MARS (mars-rocketry.com) |

It sounds like you think they just pull the price tag outa their ass. Besides, "Aviation Groups" don't control the "dollar categories". I think your mommy is calling you. |

Perhaps your newsreader is configured incorrectly. The proper attribution was cut off the top, but the ' ' makes it clear to a human reader that the statement was from a previous article. -- FF |

![]() wrote The proper attribution was cut off the top, but the ' ' makes it clear to a human reader that the statement was from a previous article. We disagree on that point. If it says "Morgans wrote:" then it has my words, it is attributed to me. The number of "'s" makes it possible for a knowledgeable reader to tell it was not me, but it may not be clear for the inexperienced "newsgroupie." g It is still incorrect practice, and I might have let it go, had the statement been less of an abomination, or the writer a less of a moron. As it was, (both) I felt the need to object, and I did. Clear enough? See, we can disagree, here in the groups, without it resulting in insults and name-calling. :-) -- Jim in NC |

Oh, that's right, they all are bare! And calling it a fuselage, that's, well, questionable. ;-) It looks to my eye, that it would be heavy. I'm sure most of it is really thin tube, though. -- Jim in NC |
