RE: Why does it always happen to the good ones??
While I am a HUGE fan of redundancy wherever you can get it (dual A123's, Smart-Fly EQ10, etc.), Ali has a good point. No matter how much we try, there will ALWAYS be a single point of failure somewhere in the circuit. While we can do our best to minimize the number of single failure points, we will never eliminate them.
And while no crash puts out a "good" image, they're all going to eventually. Except for the hangar queens, they will ALL crash.
Much like Ali's, I want my crashes to be away from people or property, but big and spectacular. And if they aren't big and spectacular, I will lie and say they were when I write about them here on RCU.
Which by the way, my Boomerang XL crash 2 years ago WAS big and spectacular......really it was!
It's going to happen, it isn't anyone's fault.
