Hi Joan
I think your article on
the accident on the beach isn’t complete. You really didn’t
research the issues fully. The part of the aircraft that failed was a certified
engine and its certified prop. If you look at the Malibu, a piper aircraft you’ll see the
same engine and similar problems as what happened to the lancair. I really
think you need to research your aviation info before you write in a broad
brush. These days a bunch of crap is coming from dc and this is another example.
I haven’t found anyone in the press getting it correct where there is an
accident or loss of life in an accident associated in aviation .
