I have been flying my RV-6 for 18 years and know a lot of builders and
RV pilots and all this propaganda that you are trying to put out is just
not true.

Why don't you tell us what it is you do and what you are building from
plans and why you have such a bad attitude. What has homebuilt aircraft
industry done to you????

I was a production worker at Cessan Pawnee, four years. Told the truth
to the FAA inspector, it was my ass. Went to Grumman Long Island, two
years, laid off. Rockwell Collins, Cedar Rapids, laid off.

Finally gave up on aircraft in 1994. Homebuilts are a great idea but
they have diverted all the capital from aircraft manufacturing. It's
like the old madam's lament, We can't sell it anymore what with these
college girls giving it away.

For the record I think there is room enough for warbirds and
homebuilts both, and factory airplanes too. But I see sons of whores
like Alfred who are point blank exploiting the Experimental Amateur
Built class to sell what amounts to a factory built airplane without
the expense of actually hiring people. Richard started out as a
homebuilder himself unlike Alfred, but it's gotten to the same thing.
