RE: DA-85 Upgrade?
If I were to invest 3 grand in a plane it sure as hell wouldn't have a single cylinder engine and would not be under 100cc's. You seriously over spent somewhere.
The fact is, todays society is geared around instant communications. That could be done with an I-phone, I-pad, laptop, desktop, using a computer at an internet cafe, work computer, or borrowed intrernet time on a friends computer. E-mail is the communications methods of today and tomorrow and not having a computer of one's own is no excuse. There are too many ways to work around such a short coming. Yes, some of the answers were smart *****ed but in their own way were quite pertinent to the situation. One has to keep up with technology, especially information technology, if they want to stay on top of anything. DA, and other engine manufacturers have been conducting about 98% of their business via instant media and very little via other methods. It has been this way for at least 7 years now.
The is one minor problem with the complaint about not having a computer. You posted in this forum so you shot yourself in the foot with the arguement about not having computer access. I somewhat know the area around LaPine. A little remote in some areas but they do have internet.
