C,

The US pilot community is that way for a reason.

Well, sometimes yes, sometimes no.

The performance of the
Rotax was miserable. Embry-Riddle ended up getting rid of all their Katanas
because of it.


Then it may have been miserable for their mission (Prescott, AZ, anyone?).
But that doesn't mean it was unsuitable for others.
