I like your philosophy, but by my math it would take 6-7 years to buy a new one with the interest, assuming preservation of the principle. My $60 Office Depot cordura is on the brink of airworthiness after 4 years, but the concept works. Thread hijack complete, allow me to say something at least slightly releavant - The CF34 is one of the few civilian powerplants that has seen combat on frontline aircraft, the A-10 and S-3.
