It's not about the quality and it's not about Safety (based on the FAA
comments at OSH).  It is about the relative difference in Education of
writing a check or doing the work and learning how a system works as
well as how to maintain it.  Of the 30,000 OBAM aircraft, a growing
percentage are now Quick Build, Two weeks to Taxi or hired gunslinger.
It appears to be a trend which has attracted government attention.
Having a GA certified at over $350,000 doesn't help the math either.

Our focus should remain on educated owners, maintainers and proficiency
training.  The accident statistics are getting my wife's attentions
which might not be a good thing for continued building.
