Gentlemen (and Ladies, too),

 

Normally, I would apologize for my previous abrupt answer (Safety Wiring Main Spar Bolts), BUT; It is very hard to make an intelligent response to any question without context.  Generally, a question (and, hence, its' answer - Duh!) is only relevant to the aircraft and conditions for which it is posed...............  Esoteric Eastern Philosophies related to mere existence excepted, grasshopper! 

 

Listen, there are about 20-30 active responders to issues raised on this "board."  There are about 200-400 lurkers, individuals who, because of many unfathomable reasons, fail to ask any questions or are merely interested in monitoring "Lancair" related information.   Worse yet, there are people with experience who are unwilling to add information to the mix.  That's fine, but terse, non-contextual questions/answers (unsigned, without detail) are not particularly useful to anyone.  Information, without environmental details, provides little additional knowledge to us weirdos seeking answers to the Universal Question: WHY? 

 

In addition, people that are afraid of "flaming" cannot possibly be safe pilots.  I have never met a group of pilots that weren't completely type "A" and impervious to any criticism.  Flame suit on (Note: it's made of asbestos - 'cause it works).

 

I cannot believe that any written words (other than a Subpoena) could ever hurt one's psyche or cause one to consult a lawyer.   Remember these principles:

 

1.  There are no stupid questions other than the one not asked with context.

 

2. A question in time saves nine!

 

3. Free opinions are worth every penny paid for them.

 

4. Humor causes air cooled engines to fail at night or over water.

 

5. Don't worry, we all make mistakes (See: Harry Houdini).

 

 

And a peculiar faith!

 

Come on, the election is over, join in!

 

Personal Power = Resistance x Irritability!
