We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Shades of Rocinante Author: Boyd Percy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01:55:48 03/31/13 Sun Our local (Baton Rouge) newspaper carried a story about a local man who has spent the last 16 years building an airplane, Van's Aircraft RV-6A, from a kit. He chose the kit which offered nothing pre-assembled because of cost factors. He estimated he spent over 2000 hours working on the plane interrupted by real life concerns. He flew the first time on March 14th. Since the FAA classifies the two seat plane as experimental, he is unable to give his wife or anyone else a ride until he amasses 40 hours flying time. Talk about persistence and perseverance. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
