On several occasions you have posted the NTSB cases, ref. the RAF fatals. I have the same list in front of my monitor at all times. I don't forget.
While in the shower last night...the Question hit me...WHY DID "THEY" DIE?
Over the years, those that know, and those that parrot them, repeat themselves, ad nauseam, of the design flaws and aerodynamic deficiencies of the RAF 2000 and...why this causes the fatalities.
I concur as to the design flaws. Let's not repeat them again, OK?!
Students, non students, commercial pilots, ATP's, Helo rated pilots and pilots with upwards of 15,000 hrs...They died.
I flew my stock RAF for 90 hrs. and I live.
Hunn, Logan, Fritts, Brewer, Menzie, Mayfield, Patten, Bruty and others flew the stock RAF, accumulated many thousands of hours and they live.
Hundreds of other RAF pilots, around the world, have flown the stock RAF for many thousands more hours and they live.
So...with hundreds of pilots accumulating many thousands of hours in the same design deficient RAF 2000...I ask...WHY DID "THEY" DIE?
