well but I just hit delete. This obviously isn't the forum for this
guy. The name of this forum is "Light Sport Aircraft" not "Light Sport
Flying" and our mission statement is, "Join our group and discuss (LSA)
Light-Sport Aircraft and the Sport Pilot license. Please ask questions.
Talk about anything related to Light-Sport Aircraft and the Sport Pilot
license." The oil change thread certainly fits this mission even more
than a "flying stories" thread would.
This guy was from the higher end of GA. Having come from that end of GA
myself, I think I know where he was coming from. I myself was a bit
shocked when I join this group to find out who made it up. This group
has historically been a group of homebuilders and ultralighters
typically with an extremely high level of technical expertise and an
extremely low level of regulatory expertise (and often with even less
respect for said regulations). This is the opposite of mainsteam GA
pilots. I don't mean to offend anybody (there certainly are a fair
number of people with strong knowledge and respect for the rules) but
just last night Gary and I tossed yet another e-mail rant out of buffer
about how the evil FAA made some pilot's plane worthless since he failed
to reregister it and forced him to be flying illegally because he
couldn't possibly stand to get a license. This sort of things would be
unheard of from a pilot from the other side of GA.
The bottom line is that this is just a very different group of people
than what make up the mainstream GA community. If you are from that
side of GA, you can either stick it out on this list an learn a whole
lot about a very different side and different perspective to GA as I and
a lot of others have or leave like this guy did. I think either are
fine decisions.
