Default RE: well...crashed the avistar....

sorry, no pics yet... camera is acting up.

so here's the black box report:

ailerons were found to be offset to bank left when control stick was centered. wind did not play a large factor in the crash. When the plane left the ground it banked hard left, correction of full right aileron only made the plane fly level resulting in a stall and crash. Pilot and Co-pilot were killed on impact due to massive head trauma and internal hemoraging.

Cause of Crash: Pilot error on pre-flight check.

all at once now...."you dumb*****!"
