Tonight's Dumb Idea...

[Bill Glaze]

Never had any problems for hundreds of flights with my Sukhois, so I 
went with a $6 Dave Brown mount on my focus.  Over a year, no problems.  
In fact, Dennis (of Carden) doesn't want soft mounts on his large 
airplanes.  He says, and has evidence to back it up, that after the 
first 50 or so flights, you will begin breaking elevator hinges.  I 
realize that the airplanes and engines are a lot larger than what we 
use, but, still............
I got tired of putting an additional $200 up where it would be first at 
the scene of the accident.
To reiterate: so far, so good.
