| We all have seen too many people fly and their lives hang on the 

all mightly dollar and no matter what you say you couldn't convence 

them of this. You have a bigger responsibility to yourself to come 

home every night. We have had too many crashes this year for different 

reasons, but to save a dollar!

Roger:



Whoa............Amigo.



Maybe you misunderstood what I was saying.



I would not be here today if I scrimped on maintenance, inspections, 

and was not a responsible aviator.  I wouldn't fly around the patch if 

I thought there might be some problem looming ahead if I had not done 

my home work.



However, I do not believe in trashing good parts because CPS or anyone 

else says to.  Carbs are easy because we can see the wear.



I don't stretch oil changes, plugs, or any other maintenance on my 

airplane to save a penny, but I don't throw my money away either.



If something needs replacing on the engine I do that, but not replace 

the entire engine.  Well, maybe this last time I did.  Just 

kidding......................

Hi John,

  

This is why I hate email. No face to face emotion or immediate dialog. 

I did not mean to infer that you did not do what is necessary. It was just a general statement about what other pilots do at times. I really did not mean to make you think it was directed at you. You have my apology if I offended you.

I do believe that some parts are replaced prematurely and an inspection will suffice. I think companies will replace an item because they don't always trust the individual to be able to test or verify the part's condition.
