I have just completed sending emails and letters to my congressman and two
senators opposing the Administration's efforts to impose "User Fees" on GA.
This provision is included in small print in the current Budget being
considered by Congress, and could result in a fee to call for weather, file a
flight plan, using flight following, requesting service for instrument
flight, or even landing fees.
Sending the emails was simple. Just search for "US Senators" or "US
Congressmen" and select your person and click to send an email.
I think this is an issue we should all support, for it will have serious
impact on our airports and on GA if it becomes law. It could result in flying
in the US becoming like flying in Europe, simply too expensive for anyone
but the rich.

Kurt,
I think the biggest issue is alignment/rigging. Main wing aligned
correctly to fuselage, canard aligned correctly to main wing., etc..
So that everything is in its sweet spot at cruise. Having the control
surfaces correctly rigged would be included in this.
Next is having the prop pitched correctly for the fuselage-engine
combination is crucial, especially in a fixed pitch.
