“aviation for sure, you get what you pay for. The difference being that in aviation you really want what you've paid for!.”
This has got to be one of the most ridicules statements ever made. In aviation you can spend a fortune and end up less safe than if you had not spent any money at all. Having reduced my annual spend on aircraft ownership by 2/3 and increased my safety factor significantly I am a big believer in Inexpensive Plane Ownership. The more a pilot is involved and understands the less he will pay and the more he will get. Building and flying a Rans is one way of doing this, as is the rapidly increasing number of home built VLA’s which are flooding onto the register.
