RE: Emergency safety alert: FEJ big F-18F Superhornet
I seriously doubt 100 HC jets are flying (actually flown) right now Wap. More like 25-50 in the USA. The problem FEJ has verses other jets in the market place, is that theirs are the ones currently falling out of the sky and they don't seem to be addressing the issues everyone has brought up to them as to the cause of it. If they are, they have not successfully informed anyone that they are working on it. If you are aware of another jet manufacturer who is experiencing similar problems (without addressing it) of structural failures in flight, please let me know and I will join that band wagon to raise awareness of that manufacturer.
I'm all ears.
Regarding the weight limit issue. This can be enforced at every local field and every event by having the CD's compare the jets at the events to the AMA list or weigh jets that are in question if they are not on the list. It's quite simple.
