A very childish type of post. Why set there and try so hard to find fault with another method other than your own? We have a great Country however we are not perfect in any means. You are showing that by the way you try to put someone and there methods down. Do you know for a fact that the Canadians have any worse safety record than ours? Our experimental class sounds a lot like what you are talking about in Canada. It to me is the answer. You talk about certified parts which in many cases is just a paper trail and many of the so called non TSO'ed parts in the experimentals are exactly the same except for the paper work. Instruments being a good example along with endless other items. Basically you are saying that there are thousands of airplanes flying around the US that aren't safe because they are experimental. If you have nothing good to say why say anything? This is a very good informative net and I for one do not think we need this kind of post. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jon Page" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 09, 2002 9:26 PM Subject: Re: [COUPERS-FLYIN] Lost Data Plate > ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- > > > > Jon > > We know that you have your aircraft on a program in Canada where there are > no rules and you can do what you want and I am pleased for you as this > makes you happy.
