The crash had nothing to do with the video or the builder.  I understand it was the 4th owner who
had very low Lancair time stalled the airplane at low altitude and spun it into the ground.  The
process of building had nothing to do with the crash.

The video was inspirational motivation which is why it was brought up.  In the old days, we were
all encouraging and positive.  Now, we look for reasons to be negative and sue one another.  That
aircraft was incredible.  There was no reason to point out that the 4th owner crashed it cause he
was trying to show off and was stupid.  

The point was that the process of dreaming, building, and flying came into reality in a 30 minute
tape that did nothing but motivate and inspire.  It's still a great tape.
