David,
First of all, thank you for a very "productive" response...fresh wind for sure! I guess my points are these...

I think they are listening...or they would not have posted a statement. I also saw them ask several people that have been "pro-active" and not antagonistic to review the issue and loss...they asked me too Would they have made the statement if it was another persons airframe? I guess most will not know that nor would they believe them if FEJ said they would have. But with Ali flying the airframe instead of their regular pilot Ken, they were willing to entrust the airframe into someones hands that would push the throttle and surfaces harder...taking pilot error as far from the excuse picture as possible...in my opinion.

If I were them, I'd have a hard time trusting the hands of those whom have bought "Shame on you FEJ" t-shirts. That's the "step" that took me over the fence on the whole thing.

As far as safety, I am just saying pilot error could yield equal catastrophe and happens many times more than two airframes in question...a step further on that...speed limit breaking is "heroic" in the same circles of the ones yelling foul on FEJ structure integrity. I agree more testing needs to be happening...as a matter of fact, just as a scale airframe is "never really completed", so should be the generations of airframes as they move through mods over the years.

David, it just seems really biased to me, especially when someone starts picking on Lewis Patton! Many, many of my friends over here on the other coastline...they have absolutely given up on RCU Jet Forums.

This is just my opinion.

Thanks for your insight.

Rex
