Did you notice the line that indicated that the plane had been "built by a professional" for Inhofe? Who knows whether the news account got it right though.svanarts said:Yes. I was just about to post this:

Let's make sure that priviledged ### knows we pilots don't give a **** how much he's done for aviation. We just want our precious FAA rules OBEYED!

jonbakerok said:Like I said in the other thread, I watched him build that plane. I know that he did not personally drive every rivet, but I also know for a fact that he worked on it as much as his schedule allowed. No rule was broken that I know of. I saw a friend helping. I never saw any money change hands.
Besides, even if he did pay the guy, what the heck do you care if some stupid, arbitrary FAA rule that actually INHIBITS safety was broken? Why shouldn't a person be able to hire a professional?
Do you think anybody else in congress gives a hoot about your right to build your own plane? This man is your best friend in Washington. Give him a break!
