We felt the note was inconclusive and requested him to fly on a buddy box
Inconclusive????? what note are they reading????? It sounded pretty clear to me that his doctor felt he was safe to fly his planes. It's like I said, I also have one of those units inplanted in me and I feel that I am just as safe as anyone else that's flying. My friend has had a heart attack so now he is more likely to have another one, does that make him unsafe???? What about all of you that are walking time bombs???? You know high in all your blood tests and a prime candidate for a heart attack!!!!!! I guess you could put a time or an age limit on it, like 60 years old but whoa just a second, it seems that more people then ever before are having attacks at a younger age, like in your early 40's. I know let's not take any chances at all and we all will have to be monitored just in case we have some kind of episode, jeez louise give me a break!
Quoted from post #161; his defibrillator went off inappropriately due to an atrial arrhythmia. His defibrillator was reprogrammed and he should not have any inappropriate shocks. From a cardiovascular standpoint, Kenneth should be stable to continue both teaching and flying radio-controlled flyers.

That doesn't sound very inconclusive to me!!
