It may be a load of crap, but somebody ought to send AOPA something positive about the coupe to send to prospective buyers, as that is where the photocopies of the article saying it was so likely to break up in flight came from. The "To:AOPA Frederick,MD" address is right there on it because Aviation Consumer is a tabloid type paper. As all the articles copies I have have "107" written on the top, and a copyright message hand stamped in red, i.e. from the same source, I suppose that somebody called AOPA looking for info and this little beauty was that info. Glad I didn't see it before I bought one!
