Unfortunately sometimes bad things happen in this game of experimental flying
and a lot of times it's just bad luck.Sounds like that's the case here in the
BD-5 incident.From what I read he was on the ground with the engine running for
a longer time then normal and possibly the internal cowling temps got higher
then usual causing the possible vapor lock. That can be remedied now that the
problem is identified.

The bad luck is that the engine ran just long enough to put the pilot into a
very bad spot.Good luck would have the engine quit during T/O with room to stop
or better yet on the run up.No blame here just bad luck.

My best wishes to the pilot and I pray for his complete recovery.The fact that
he's recovering feeling in his feet is a very good sign.Good luck to all.

pretty much in line with what peter thinks.
he is amazed that pilots in america are praying for him. he, like me
is atheist :-)

someone in the club has organised a firesale this weekend of the stuff
in his hangar. actually we arent sure who thought to organise it but
they'll be losing their nuts if he ever finds out.
the thought that someone would make off with the new BD5 that he is
working on simply horrified him.

he is well on the mend and looking forward to getting on with it.
now if the feeling would return to the legs he'll be really chipper.

Think of prayer like chicken soup when you have a cold.It might not help but
maybe it won't hurt either :-)As atheists you may not think praying has any
validity but just consider it our way of offering someone our very best wishes
for good luck and in this case a speedy recovery.

A "firesale" seems that's the last thing someone would do LOL!!

Well we'll continue to extend to Peter our very best wishes for a good recovery
so he can get on with the rebuild or the new project.

More than that, I think.

I have seen things happen that either are the most improbable collections of
coincidence, or put another way, a miracle of sorts. An atheist looks at it
as the improbable happening, and others look at it as a touch of The
Almighty.

A religious person prays for a person to recover well, and believes that his
God can make it happen. Who is to say that it will not?

In Christianity, the believers are told to love their enemy, (not that the
atheist is an enemy) and pray for non believers. That is what they are
doing.

So, in short, I hope that some combination of happenings combine to
contribute to a fast and full recovery. How I make that wish is a personal
thing, and no less meaningful, no matter who it is for, and no matter how
that hope is expressed.

Funny, I've noticed over the years that for the most part the more a person
or group calls on God, the more they love their enemy dead.

True for some religions, but not all.

Frank Tallman said that the P.O.H. and the Bible are two books that are
routinely ignored.

You cannot get "we want you dead" out of either book.

....and don't wait until after a crash to start reading either book!

That'd surprise the hell outta all the people who have been burned at the
stake, drowned, hanged, killed in war, etc


"It is true that any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into
law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by
suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of
the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics."

Someone once said that the preachers promise heaven until they attain
control; then, all they deliver is hell. IMHO, this appears to be true
of all religions.

OK, name 'em....

You miss the point entirely.

Books, like guns...
Don't kill people.
People/groups with the books [and guns], kill people.

Settlers came to America from England to avoid religious persecution
and then burned witches at the stake when they were in charge.
This kinda' trade mark crap has been going on since the Stone Age.
