Different strokes. We build things that we fly in. Some bigger and
faster, some smaller and slower. The biggest ones carry 6-8 people,
and speeds get up to 350 mph. The smallest are single place, 40-60
mph. A few unpowered things too - sailplanes, or gliders. Some are
into RC as well.

I'd rather trust the safety of something that I built than something
built by people that drink beer with lunch and go home at 5pm. Like
the damned Chrystler I just bought.
