Greetings, all,



I was dealt a small setback to my CH-801 project Monday morning.  See

attached link for the newspaper writup on it.

http://chronicle.augusta.com/stories/013008/met_185460.shtml

I think the reporter did me a big favor writing it as she did.  They didn't

post the photo of the plane, but it was on page 1, above the fold!  Email me

if you want to see it.

Jim,

So sorry.

Once in awhile we are painfully reminded of the impact that anger, hate, and ignorance can have, even when (hopefully) restricted to a small fraction of us.

Don't be discouraged (and it sounds like you won't be -- congrats) and best of luck.  I have a feeling my sentiments are shared by a whole lot of people that will hear of your story.

Hello Jim,



I was saddened by the attack, but was encouraged by your resolve as I read the article you shared. I had the pleasure of meeting you a couple years back at Zenith for a rudder workshop and was intrigued then both by your role in building planes for missionaries and also your use of the DeltaHawk diesel. I look forward to hearing more about both on the list as you get closer to completion.



Regards,



Dave Gardea

I'm just shaking my head on this one.  Just when you think you've seen it all...



A pink swastika?  And a peace sign?  WTF?     



Well, if nothing else I'd bet this gives you even more determination.  And you'll have the only Zenith around with actual bullet holes.

Jim, I 'd be interested in seeing the photo. What organization do you work  with? I have been working with ABWE on various construction projects. The Lord  has His reasons for this. Where is the 801 slated for?

It's hard enough for us to finish these projects without the helping hands 

of those who feel destruction is superior to construction. Hang in there

With younth like this, something tells me we're in for some sort of culling of the herd. These types are nothing but useless cannon fodder no one would ever miss.

		   Sorry to hear about the vandals doing that kind of 

 damage to your chapter home. It does show that the

 police aren't too concerned about the bad people 

 here in this freedom loving country of ours. If the

 perpatraitors are caught I'll bet the ACLU would 

 defend them, saying they were abused as children..

 Good luck anyway hope you do find them. EAA people

There is only one way to eliminate this type of problem in the future, but this List is not the proper place to comment further. 



Had this happened to me, I would have tried to handle it personally, rather then going to the cops, where nothing is going to be done about it  anyway.



Good luck

 Well, as a police officer, I DO care about the people in my  community.  To say all police do not care, is like saying that all cars get  great gas mileage and all airplanes fly the same.  I go out and risk my  life every day to try and prevent things such as this, even if I may not like  the person or their lifestyle, I still try.  I take it you belong to a  neighbor hood watch team and you have 0% crime in your neighborhood.  Maybe  I can borrow your superman shirt sometime.

There are good cops and bad cops just like every other walk of  life. That being said I don't think this is the place for this discussion,  unless there are some cops that have sprouted wings I did not hear  about.

I feel compelled to respond, so I will end my discussion, and thread  with the following.



Officer Husky,



It was not my intention to insinuate that you, or any of our other " finest " were not doing everything possible, to get their jobs as best as they could.  Simply, that there is so much serious, rampant, crime going on these days, ( check CNN, another half dozen shot today ) that sadly this type of crime could definitely not be one of the top priorities.  



That being said, even if the guilty party was found, and turned out to be an underage juvenile, the worst he can expect to get is a slap on the wrist anyway.  I bet that would put a stop to these pranks of his, yeah what ever !



As for my Superman shirt, you can borrow it anytime, I'm too old, and weak to wear it anyway



and to you Larry, as for your slap on Officers Husky's back, I don't think he really needed it, and neither did I.



You both have my best regards



Bob

One thing that was never answered, why were these a-holes targeting productive people. This has nothing to do with homeland security and a lot more to do with unproductive losers with nothing better to do with their time, although I would suggest they look into George Carlin's Slugfest or maybe volunteering for a local chain-gang to rebuilt America's crumbling infrastructure.
