• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

"Draco" bad news!

That video was hard to watch. I feel bad for Mike P. Glad all aboard are ok. As he said, the best that can come of this, besides all aboard being ok, is that other pilots might learn from this.
 
He blames himself but the only error I see here is the decision to fly in such conditions which were likely over the wind limits for that airframe and it's ability to be controlled in such conditions. He's alive to tell what happened, that's what to me is most important.
 
Hoped to see this thing in person, but I watch his 'Tube channel and more projects in the works. Key is all walked away (oh a broken nail) and he was right away analyzing his decision making.
