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.

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.

Careful how you trim posts, buttwipe. I did not write the following, you
did.

OOps. I trimmed the wrong stuff. What I meant to say was that I did not
write the following attributed to me:

If you go back and read xSoldier's article in the original (e.g.
correct)
UseNet format:

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...7?dmode=source

It is clear that was not attributed to 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.

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. :-)

You could always build something with remarkable historic and astethic
(sp?) apeal, then put it on the airshow circut and make it pay for
itself... wait, that's my gig. Get your own.


Saw a breezy way back in '74, when i was, well, um I was little.
Helluva lot of welding...

Sure looks that way, doesn't it? I wonder what a bare fuselage weighs? 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.
