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 .
