Now there's an interesting subject. While I fly in Canada we have a similar agency. I rather like having weather reports, ATC service and knowledgeable investigators to figure out why things go wrong. I'm curious what structure you would replace the FAA with and what services it would offer? It can't be easy balancing all the desires of all the large and small corporations in aviation with the desires of very small aircraft out for pleasure flights. I'm sure having any sort of authority overseeing an activity is irritating from time to time, but having no oversight would be far worse. Not saying you are wrong, I'm just not sure anything else created to do the same job would be smaller or cheaper or more effective. Dave G.

Too bad it isn't the FAA reducing size instead of constantly building a worthless beauracy of absolutely no value to general aviation. But then why worry when it's just taxpayers $.

Subject: Kitfox-List: Risk management To Marco, Lowell & Lynn, This thread has been very interesting to me and has brought back some "what ifs". The big one, for me, was what if my battery had not been bad that day back in 2007 when I was supposed to be with you Lowell. Then at least had it been that 30 min. later I would have been overhead but I think a few others would have been along at that point. Lowell & Lynn you have been inspirations to "hang in" until I am able to get back and fly/build. Lynn your age to building keeps me going. I am coming back and will hopefully be flying with you guys one day. I will continue to watch and thanks to all of the listers as your love of the Kitfox is an inspiration in itself. Keith C.

It was easy to work with and fit the barb fittings perfectly. I dipped the line in a little engine oil prior to sliding it over the fitting, installed the clamps and poured some fuel into the tanks. No leaks, and no more fuel vapor smell in the cockpit. I've got some tubing left from the roll I purchased. It takes about 8 feet at $1.85 per foot, plus $5.20 for shipping via USPS Priority Mail. -------- Joel Mapes Kitfox 5 912 ULS Aerocomp amphibs Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=364021#364021 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:48:51 PM PST US From: Lynn Matteson Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Risk management Hi Keith- What age?....I'm only 75!
