Not saying manufactures shouldn't be responsible for the quality of the products they sell, but if you can't afford to lose everything you've put into an airplane, then most likely you're financially in over your head regardless of what causes the crash or what you fly. Remember, this is a hobby and the cash you put into it is disposable.</p>

Kirk, it's none of my business what people can afford and I don't think manufacturer liability should be based on a person's financial standing. Fortunately, I can afford to lose a $20k jet, but that doesn't make getting customer service feel any better.
But what is your opinion on the question posed in this topic?If your plane crashes due to a defect, should be airframe manufacturer be liable to replace your engines?
