   I wonder if that's a regional thing, because I've always heard it.   
   I just checked with an online dictionary and "pay the fiddler" is listed as   
   a less common variant of "pay the piper"...which is said to have come from   
   the English saying; "Who pays the piper calls the tune"...probably applies   
   to bands too ;)

   I've seen videos regarding the piloting of light planes and never had a   
   problem. I LOVE light planes, they're so personal, and FUN to fly!!!   
   Not that I wouldn't have at least as much fun flying bigger aircraft, but   
   when it came time to pay for the fuel, that's another matter...so I'd rather   
   pay (for the fuel for) the Piper ;)
