Thanks to all that did not kick me in the ribs for the purchase of my Extra. To EXCAP232 (rib kicker), you're comment was heart felt. I know that the Extra is very capable.......does not mean I have to fly it, or even attempt to fly that way. I also drive a '99 Cobra, capable of 160 mph, but I only choose to keep it around 60 mph......for whatever reason, call me crazy, but I feel safer. I could do it but choose not to.(Plus Bubba's not a very good room mate, I hear nowadays - you know the whole jail thing - not cool) And as long as these man-made toys exist we are all in harms way at the field, experience is paramount, true. But we're all exposed to a certain risk. That's why it's good to never turn your back to the field, while anybody's flying. An experienced prop will hurt just as bad as a newbie's. And if I were to get good at a tri-cycle....screw an INDY...I want a top fuel dragster.....

Respect it......and it will respect you....Hmmm quite profound!
