Default Quebec Accident

Hi,
I was reluctant to post information until I could check it first instead of speculating. I too feel sorry for anyone who dies in a crash. Some facts regarding that crash are Michel Vallière only had a total of 8 hours dual in RAFs from Jim Logan, he was NOT signed off for solo flight, he was NOT a CFI for RAF and this was his first flight after a rebuild following a rollover accident (with a passenger) from early September.
The link to the pictures are very graphic in the other thread and truely remind those to think about their personal standards before flying.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

PS: I asked about the other crash in Canada during Airventure. A CFI was testing an RAF2000 and during a phase of takeoff a rudder cable barrel adjuster separated. I was told only 3 threads of the steel end were into the turnbuckle.
