    Not trying to sound rude, but I know it’s going to come off like that. But if dude is a pilot, than they are definitely into aerospace, and should’ve known better.

    But it is stated in the title that they bought it at a show. So it is very doubtful they bought it from themselves.

      Surprises me how someone who can put themselves at the mercy of nature and a hobby that ‘can’ be danger prone and still be crazy enough to cheap out on this. The amount of people who decry regulation and tbh common sense in this case is astounding. At best it’s their own life at risk. At worse the lives of others on the ground or on onboard.

      I agree general aviation is heavily regulated and unfortunately expensive but that’s due to cases just like this. The pilot will have know there was a chance of risk here. Even a defective bolt can have an impact. It’s the same story as the sub… hmmm the part could be not up to standard but I’ll take a chance because I think it should be ok…it wasn’t. The pilot is lucky to be alive.

        That first line of the second paragraph reminds me of my favorite training regurgitating of the line “safety regulations are written in blood.”

        I don’t care how many times you’ve heard it! You’re going to hear it dozens more!!!

        Dumb kids are my bane.

        I am so very confused about that first word. At first I thought I meant someone sexually attracted to planes or the like, and got excited I was one of the lucky 10k today. Then I looked it up.

        Please clarify for me. Are you saying the pilot or seller is attracted to prepubescent teens? Again, I’m just genuinely confused.

            Dunno who down voted you. But besides not answering my question directly, you correctly described most neo libs to a capital T.

            What is with fuckers with money and doing weird sex shit‽

            Not to worry, I got you back at 1 at least.

              I think coming into money corrupts many people. They suddenly see a world of opportunities. I think many men, given the perfect opportunity, would take advantage of a teenager.
