I thought back about the various airplanes I have flown in: Cesnna 152, 140, 120, 180. Stinsons, Wacos, Pipers, etc. Every one was built one at a time and in thinking about it there was zero tolerance for sloppy workmanship.

Can you imagine someone putting the propeller on backwards and nobody noticed it? Instruments that were not connected. A leaky fuel tank. Faulty wiring. Defective radios?

Bottom line, no pilot would put up with it.

Now I want you to know I like our Ace, but if Thor built airplanes would you fly in one?

Just asking....
Then again, to answer the question.... would I fly in any airplane made by any auto manufacturer with maybe the exception of the Bugatti Veyron? NO. Just look at all of the recalls going on with auto industry, i.e., airbags, etc... I have received at least three notices of the airbag recall (pieces of shrapnel will kill me if deployed....) on a car I currently own.... The dealer continues to tell me that they don't have the parts and put me on a waiting list. At least with an RV the problem can be fixed one way or another....
