I know how that goes..  Once I got married my flight time has been very
limited...  Don't know when I'd get any in anyway..

Well...  Hmmm.. Had not thought of that.

My guess is that if you don't have anything, you are not likely to have
a problem.  The reason the Aircraft makers where driven out of the small
aircraft market was not so much their making aircraft as their
appearance of having deep pockets.  Not may A&P's where named in civil
actions and few would actually pay any losses because they generally
don't have anything to give (even at $45 an hour...)

Also... If you have a group of individuals who have no assets in common,
who would you go after?

I'm not in the leagal profession so you had better ask the attourney,
but I don't think the I would have much to worry about.. They would not
get much money out of me, so I doubt they would even try.
