Dennis,

I see you are back with your same old talking points.

As has been explained, a finding of pilot error does not in any way provide
an endorsement of your design. When your design failed, many pilots found
themselves unable to recover in a manner expected from certified aircraft.
That is the standard. It does not address the design failures that
preceded the pilot errors. It does not address the design's ability to
recover from those failures.

You like to blame the dead, especially low-time dead pilots. You might
have forgotten that you marketed your kit to low-time pilots.

Let's look at the chronology again.


1) Everybody gets excited when they see the Cicare CH-6 prototype fly.
2) You and Cicare dissolve your partnership and you are left without a
helicopter to sell.
3) Without access to Cicare's design or the CH-6 demonstration aircraft, you
attempt to copy the design.
4) While you are still designing your new helicopter, you continue to market
and take orders for an unproven design
5) You delivered kits without adequate testing, claiming TBO's of up to 2000
hours, when your prototype only had a a couple of hundred hours, at most.
6) You marketed your kits to low-time pilots


A classic bait and switch.
