G, The pionts you have raised about GFT's being a good thing........
I would have to agree with you totally, it can only make flying these gems safer for everyone.
Because these machines have such low inersha (spelling?), if not handled properly, trying to land with an engine out, may well see you into the trees at the threshold of the field you selected, winding you into hospital or worse!!!!
Changing the subject slightly, if you want good fun flying, fly a Micro........or a Yak if you can aford to run the damn thing!
