Pattern Altitude
Why is it that a $2.00 piece of metal cost $148.00 just because it goes on an airplane? I know there is a big liability for the manufacture, but you would think after making the same part for 40 years they would have all the bugs worked out. The part I am talking about is the 6" X 1/2" piece of metal that holds the window open on a 150/152. The part is still available from Cessna for $148.00 bucks and the spring is $4.52. My A&P has two sayings, #1,Bend over and smile. #2, You know, the happiest two days of your life are the day you buy your plane and the day you sell it. Thanks for letting me vent, I feel much better know, I think I'll go Flying.
