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 .
