[Wing] Consumer satisfaction?

[Haywire]

I'm certain that I've already said too much, but...........
    I've been reading through a few of these other e-mails and read comments
like "sure it's alot of paper work, but after building a plane......." &
"compared to the cost of building the plane the fees aren't that bad...."
C'mon really? Does this mean that because we've worked real hard & invested
alot of money that we won't mind when we're screwed just a little? Maybe the
average builder is financially secure and has the time for this, but many
like myself have sacrificed much to accomplish this goal, stretching my time
& finances to the breaking point. When I have extra time and money it all
goes into the project to accomplish my goal of a better, safer, more
efficient flying machine.
    I really resent the nonchalant attitude of some who seem to think it is
ok because it is "in the interest of safety"! Let's be realistic. It has
nothing to do with safety. It has everything to do with feeding the
insatiable bureaucratic machine back east. I'm certain that the local
inspectors have safety as their primary goal, but they are also the ones who
are working quickly to provide a good service at absolutely no profit to
themselves.
    If you don't mind the service you received, fine. But lets not
sugar-coat it by saying they are saving us from ourselves, so it's ok to get
screwed a little, because it's not.
    This will be my last post on the subject, because it's starting to sound
a little too political. Next I'll start bitching about gun control, gay
marriages, etc....

better get back to building to cheer up some.....    happy building.
