I just called, and they answered the phone. So someone is there!

Chuck:

I remember being told by Cliff Faber, the original Glasair tech support guru (whom we sadly lost to ALS many years ago) that if the surfaces were prepared correctly (i.e. sanded and...

We equipped when we did an IFR upgrade at the end of 2014. Spent more than I should have, and was rewarded with being ineligible for the rebate. We knew what we were getting, and its limitations...

All very good points, Ron

Ron

You're absolutely right. All those things are serious failures of the new policy.

The SSN problem overwhelmed them, but even without that, the policy is crazy, unenforceable, and unsustainable,...

I was thinking exactly the same thing just now.

I think Paul would have said, "Are those two million kids better off with the program, or without it?" Risks and all, I think we know nothing can...

Yep. Let's all just be good little sheep, and follow the flock. Nothing bad could POSSIBLY happen... Right.

Mark, that's exactly why this crap keeps happening. Because no one stands up and...

I'd still be insulted by the requirement, but a lot of the objection does indeed have to do with the SSN requirement.

But, it's the Obama Administration's way. If Congress doesn't do what we want, then the King issues a decree, and "It is SO!".

Only if we stand for it...

Then as you so kindly said to someone else a few posts back, "Let us know how that works out for you."

And that helped those of us who were affected (millions) in what way?

Those protecting themselves won't be "trashing the YE program." The overactive bureaucrats who imposed the requirement causing good folks to quit will be doing that. Don't blame those protecting...

Agreed, Mark. Hence the abject stupidity of the requirement, which has apparently touched a nerve among a very dedicated, generous, and cooperative group. Maybe YOU wouldn't fly kids outside such...

Ed,

I'm with you.

I just completed the training, for the same reasons as you. i.e. So that no one thinks I have anything to hide when I complain about the policy. (As for identity theft, I,...

Art,

I've been amazed at how well "Goo-Gone" works on old adhesives, and it won't fry your brain, either. Actually smells kinda good! (Citrus-based solvent.)

Any kind of blasting or even...
