No, not at all. I have five babies. I have owned nine different airplanes. I
can speak as an expert here. Here are some differences between a baby and a
new airplane:
Airplane: You can go out and have fun with your airplane right away.
Baby: They are fun from about age 7 to age 11 and then they get attitude.
Airplane: "Dad, can I have $150 for a new tire?"
Baby: "Dad, can I have $150 for a new set of basketball shoes?"
Airplane: You know when you are going to have to do an oil change.
Baby: Diaper changing always comes at inopportune moments.
Airplane: Life cost is predictable and you get something back when you sell it.
Baby: (20 years from now) "Dad, tuition just went up. I need another $10,000."
(Airplane: "Dad, I just had a hydraulic lock. I need $10,000 for a tear-down.")
Airplane: See one you like better? Sell your old one and buy a new one.
Baby: Yeah, right. You can just imagine what your wife is going to cut off if
you even think this.
So, while there are some similarities there are some substantial differences.
Airplanes are far easier to deal with.

Frank,
I have several CJ harnesses that I am pulling apart for parts to keep the
guys going. If you need the braided shielding let me know the length of the
ones you need. I have one harness that only has 100 hours on it, so it is
in great condition.
Also, go to your local commercial electrical contractor's shop, ask him for
some of the lube they use when pulling wires through conduit. It is the
nastiest, snottiest, stuff you have ever had on your hands but it will make
the wires slip through the harness much easier. I think Greenlee makes it.
Best,
Doug
