An airplane is an airplane.

I consider many "real airplanes" to be fragile with their cloth
wings ( which i've flown ) and many electric airplanes such
as a Sonex or the electraflyer to be nice weatherproof planes
far superior to gas powered ultralights.

You're entitled to your opinion. But it's only that.

No sir. That's just an opinion. May I have one?

I feel strange a mile up in
anything I can stick my finger through. My first trainer
was a J - 3 antique.

I also feel weird about buying something made 60 years
ago. Maybe there's something unseen.

Sure, you can have a clueless opinion.

It would take very close to the same abuse to stick your finger through
a fabric airplane as it would to do the same to the Apollo spacecraft.

I also feel weird about buying something made 60 years
ago. Maybe there's something unseen.


Not likely if it hasn't shown up in 60 years.

Does the phrase "annual inspection" mean anything to you?

I also feel strange flying Apollo spacecraft. So?

Does the phrase, "metal fatigue" mean anything to you?

Does the phrase "annual inspection" mean anything to you?


Does the phrase, "not visible to the naked eye" mean anything
to you?
