That was a great review. Thanks Rick.

I do see the exposed stuff, however and would worry about getting my Big
Mack wrapper caught in some of it. And the weight thing is just the way it
has always been with GA. There are better loadings on most of the LSA market
but that doesn't necessarily make it a better plane. Each to his own coming
