Hi Jay,
I'm up and on-line in the beautiful Florida Keys.
If
you've been following the thread in the LML as I have you'll notice two
things:
1. Insurance companies want time and training
for Lancairs.
2. Owners of Lancairs keep doing stupid things and make the insurance
companies look for
solutions.
3. Training doesn't seem to fix stupid.
To wit:
Lack of airspeed control -->
stall, spin, crash
No power up in the turns --> stall, spin, crash
Takeoff with no fuel --> stall, spin,
crash
Open canopy on takeoff --> stall, spin, crash
Then to sweeten the pot the Northern guys want to operate
on snow and ice
covered runways!
Now they want reverse pitch props! The next accident you'll read about is
going
into reverse in flight!
In general the Lancair crowd has a disproportionate amount of poor judgement
How's
Mini
I've attached a photo.
