Why am I not feeling the love in the room?

I've seen guys (and gals) come and go in tricked out Cubs, Huskys, C185's, you name it, but... They were absolutely horrible pilots, and I wouldn't even think of climbing into an airplane with them in the Arctic.

On the other hand. I've flown with Eskimo kids, ink still wet on commercial certificates, flying ratted out Part 135 Cessna 172's, that had more air sense, and could make that little Cessna sing and dance, and kiss the ground with a tire within 6 inches of where they wanted to.

The airplane don't make the pilot.
couldn't of been said any better!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Short field contest involving beer? I've got the airplane that will not only lose, but haul all the beer we could drink in a month to boot. There is a loser's trophy isn't there?

Re: Why not a Scout

Besides flying qualities, I'd like to see a price comparison of comparably-equipped new airplanes:
Husky A1B
Cub Crafters-18
American Champion Explorer or High Country
Am Champ Scout
Maule M4-180 (if they're even making them) or 180-horse 4 place
Along with any other comparable aircraft available out there.(if there is any). And no LSA's please, let's try to make this apples to apples.
