All-
I've seen some incredibly vitriolic posts in the past 3 weeks and few have had anything to do with building. In addition, when has it become list policy to tell builders of other brands of aircraft to take a hike? We used to routinely share lessons learned though the school of hard knocks with RVers, Kitfox, and especially Sonex builders and they appreciated our input. What if Octave Chanute had told Wilbur and Orv "Go to Hell, figure it out yourselves"? Don't forget, the Wrights flew experimentals whose operational life was measured in seconds.
Any Zenith is exponentially more capable. EXPERIMENTAL, remember?! I personally would be more liable to blame an airframe failure on my building talents rather than those of the designers. 'Fess up. Everyone has a rivet he wonders about. Psychologically, this may be the root of the problem. The individual builder is scared shitless of that rivet and looking for an excuse. My project is so over-built I'll be lucky to see 100mph cruise. I'll plow in like a Cadillac but survive for all the additional sheet metal.
If I get flamed for an appeal for a return to normalcy I'm ashamed for the lot of you.
