Just a curious question here, at what point do we start caring about the manufacturing process. Scott, I know you bought finished De Ja Vu's, at what point is the manufacturer supposed to be held accountable for providing over weight air frames. I know of guys that have received RTF planes over weight. I'm curious as to why that is a weight issue, rather than a manufacturing issue. Why is it not OK to tell the manufacturer what it has to weigh and not accept anything less? I know companies that currently do this. Just because you paid 3K or whatever for the airplane, doesn't mean that you shouldn't have some assurance it will make weight.
