The other day I was having a discussion with some other RV builders and one of them proposed that a serial builder probably knew more about RV's than a person who has built one and maintained it for 10+ years.
One of the other builders argued that the person who built one plane and had to maintain it, repairing things that didn't work well, etc. vs. the Serial Builder who repeats the same error over and over again and leaves it to the new owners to correct.
It was an interesting because the serial builder doesn't hold on to his aircraft long enough to see if what s/he did would hold up in the long term. Whereas, the person who built one and maintained it over 10+ years knows exactly what worked, what didn't, and how to repair issues the serial builder would never experience.
However, it is hopped that the serial builder learns how to produce aircraft rapidly and adds features that makes future maintenance easier.
What are your thoughts?
