This release is similar to my schweitzer only early in the design process, however; to be reliable, I'm sure it would require modification. Otherwise, didn't we already have a thread to 'discuss trolls here' ? Or is this just another means of distracting us from a reasonable conversation, and preventing us from uniting in a useful, though not always agreeable, Hang Gliding Association. Because of the continuing PG bias, and majority tyrannical unresponsiveness of our national organization, We run the risk of losing the privilege to fly. Without an alternative 'organization' to satisfy FAA req. we would no longer be 'regulated' as in self regulated. The failed HAA is an example of disagreement in leadership and constant distraction by PG's who do not want us to unite against them! The PG's have continued to be irresponsible both in training req. and flight into controlled air space and if we do not separate our self, we will be assumed to be the same!

Good Lord are you the internet Paparazzi?

Her death isn't anyone's business unless the family want's it to be. The facts are that she's dead. Anything you drag up won't make a bit of difference in anyone's life but yours maybe.



I had posted this accident long ago, this just didn't happen... I have to disagree with Blindrodie it is everyones business to know how it happened so that it will not happen again and agian 2 someone else.... History simes to repeat itself to over and over again it happen to Lopez and John Seward and this list has gone on and on since heavens know when :shock:

I agree with open reporting as well. There are periods of time when a degree of sensitivity is appropriate, but in the long run, I believe all the facts should be published so we can learn from mistakes.

I don't like to see sensationalizing of fatalities, but I think the response to any such sensationalizing should come from peer pressure and not from "gag orders" imposed by forums or associations.
