RE: FlyEagle Jet Zero Tolerance Policy
First I saw my friend's F-18 destroyed into which he had invested much time and money, and now I see this video which clearly shows a structural defect leading to the loss of thousands of dollars, being flown conservatively and competently by a good pilot, and built by a well known builder who has the knowledge to make these things work. If we can see this type of thing and still have confidence in a product, we are either blind or possess some ulterior motive. I know as much as I would like to have one of the A-7's, I will not spend my hard earned money in that capacity until they have proven they will stand behind their sales. Both this plane and the F18 need to be retooled, retested and replaced before any waivered pilot purchases one, or one is allowed to fly in public display at a sanctioned fly in. IMO, there is a potential for catastrophic failure with potential for injury and damges, and the risk is just too great.
