Well, you'll probably get your wish in the US anyway. I just paid $50 for a 2 inch square vacuum pump cover that should have cost $5. I have oil hoses that I would like to replace, but the $750 price tag (up $200 in six months) is giving me pause— replace, hope for the best, or hang it up and stop flying?

Like it or not, more force will definitely raise costs, but it'll also push folks from category one to categories two and three. Or they'll just ignore the regs and begin a normalization of deviance.

Yes please. If you can't afford flying around a missle, DON'T.

  • I thought really hard about coming up with an actual response, but no, you don’t deserve one.

    Gee, the aviation world would be so much safer if everyone just listened to pixl97.
