Very pertinent comments Onewing. My tuppence worth is that the port wing stalled, all that sweepback, low power etc. On a related topic regarding crashes and safety , read the correspondence in RCM&E, Oct `04. David Boddington and Idris Francis (Flight Link Systems) have differing opinions on fail-safes. I await the LMA`s report on this and the B-52 crash. Fatalities connected with aeromodelling are not uncommon but one concerning a fast jet with burning fuel and the press will make the most of the story. Repercussions would be greater restrictions right across the modelling spectrum.
