Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group the Blame Game

I agree with Jim Blair.... I own a QuickSilver 2 seater.  503.  duel carb.  Flies like a champ, runs like a champ. i was told I can take a seat out of it and it will be legal. I have a problem with EAA, FAA and such, when they take away all training vehicles when it comes to ultralights.   We have totally destroyed Ultralights and the safety of them.  I personally believe it was purposely done, and I personally believe that we now have raised the risk of Ultralight adventurers. Manufacturers want to sell machines.  IA's and A/P's want money.   Jim, I totally agree with you.

I remember it a LITTLE differently Jim: I remember a lot of "phony" instructors,"FAT ultralights", and incompetent operators that thought they could get away with "stretching" the rules 'till they broke the system. You can't blame the new system for ruining the old system, blame the selfish bastards that abused the system so badly that it had to be abandoned. Rick ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
