Hughes,
No need to use poor language mate. The 66 WAS designed this century, and I suggest you may wish to do your homework and understand what FAA rules it was approved to.
It was a "clean" approval and (theoretically at least) that should make it a much better machine. Again, I am no salesman for the type, but at least I have flown one...have you ?
I think that composite is the way to go, but I also understand that there are FAA approval issues with composite. Time will no doubt change that.
