I could write a letter like that to Atlas Aviation. Wait, no I couldn't - I can't keep my cool even when writing to an outfit like that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Did I mention I had an aileron close to falling off?

Or the aileron rod ends that were about to give?

They had been like that for a while, and I had them do a nice overview inspection when I first bought it and they annualed it once. Took less than an 8 hour shift.

Oh yeah! Cherry Max rivets in the landing gear? Not installing my starter right, and when the gear got chewed up they refused to change the oil and inspect the filter?

All to "save me money!"
