I did not ask for any of this to happen so please don't make me the villain. I simply ask to be allowed to take responsibility for my actions. I find that much less redneck and arrogant than those who act to take away that option. I understand that ZBAGers meant well and probably continue to mean well. I object to the consequences of their action, specifically the indefinite moratorium on certification of my plane. Go ahead and hate me for that if you must, but remember, all the 601XLs that are certified are still flying and will continue to do so while my plane and any others awaiting inspection have been singled out for de facto grounding.
I do believe the ZBAG, for better or for worse, have brought this on. I may be far wrong about that. They may be far wrong as well. If I am wrong, they are not harmed. If they are wrong their course of action harms me via governmental fiat. I am truly sorry if my words offend any of you. I don't recall writing that the ZBAG engineers should go off and play with their slide rules or anything remote arrogant as the suggestion that I go shoot a gun to vent my frustration. What I actually did was (A) I checked out yesterday in an AMD 601XL with a very good flight instructor (and accomplished my BFR a few months early... never hurts to learn something), and (B) I am pursuing the DAR route of inspection and certification.
If I crash and burn, go ahead and say "I told him so". Rest assured that I will not be flying over any house or congested areas and that I will do my best to inspect and maintain my airplane and to fly it responsibly and safely. For those who believe the current design cannot be flown safely I am at a loss to assure you. This will be the last I post (other than private emails) on the subject until it is resolved to the satisfaction of the FAA . If any of you wish to contact me off-list you are welcome to do so but let's keep it civil please.

PS: Although my neck is indeed red, I am not not a redneck. I am an obstinate American of Irish descent. Hate me if you must; I will not return the sentiment.
