Ok, hold on here.

The supa hornee sounds like it did a classic hop off the tarmac with a no flaps take off. No surprise there. ALL OF US REGULAR HORNET FLYERS HAVE DONE THAT OR HEARD ABOUT THAT.

I think the airplane was set up fine but after an unexpected take off like that, the pilot was probably so shaken that he was having a VERY hard time controlling his nerves and then his airplane 'causing an eventual demise. Supa hornees fly great but are far from ***** cats.

I don't even want to think of what would happen if he tried to land that supa w/o flaps.

Ok, so now he tries to get a replacement airplane. Big deal if he tries to get one for free. If he can get away with it, I'd be jealous to but I'd be out of line complaining about it.

What's the big deal if he's trying to get one for free? If I was Anton, I'd say "I'm sorry but I'll give you a great deal on another one. "

The bandit story, we don't know the specifics about that one.....[]
