Debacle: Flight test of Diana-2

Personally I think you are burying the hatchet deeply
for personal reasons, and I really believe you had no
intention to buy this ship. That said, lets look at your list.
Many of your suggestions are just common sense
stuff, but many are tainted with your personal feelings.

Item 2 is subjective at best. You may FEEL that
all controls should be of the auto-hookup type,
but that is not a certification requirement.
Your opinion here is irrelevant........

Item 4 is subjective at best. The aircraft meets JAR 22.

Item 5 is conjecture on your part. You are
presupposng a failure mode not in evidence
by inferring that it is problematic.

Item 8 is patently incorrect. Carbon structures do
not "store energy". Your description of the
failure mode shows a lack of understanding of
composite structures.

Item 13 is again subjective. Properly assembled trailing
edges do not delaminate regardless of their construction
method. Your presupposition that fabric wrapped edges
are superior is not based in fact, just an opinion you hold.
Attempting to show one Trailing Edge construction method
as superior to another again shows the limitations of your
composite construction background.

Item 15 is pure conjecture. You are asking that a JAR 22
aircraft manufacturer test for a condition that occurs only
when a pilot makes an error and flys the aircraft incorrectly.
IF this test was required, the conservative folks adninistering
JAR 22 would see that it was added to the cert plan. YOU
appear to be afraid of the small crosssection of the tail boom and
seem to be inventing a reason to make it appear less than desirable.

Item 17 is a prudent thought, but horribly skewed your personal
perspective. You said the paint is too thin. Compared to what??
Is that viewpoint based on cosmetics or a by a MIL thickness
check against the manufacturers recommended film thicknesses?
I suspect you have no idea how much or little paint is needed for
UV protection and what the finish requirements are.. Absent the
specific resin used and the finish content, you are in no position to
comment on UV protection issues. Yes you may FEEL the finish
was "very thin", but in fact, that is your PERCEPTION, not a fact per se.

I would hope that you would try to post facts on your site instead of
opinions.
It would be a nice change.........
