| Just thought I'd update you all, in case you hadn't heard. It now looks like pilot error. He says he looked away just as the bank was starting and when he looked back at the model was disoriented.
Pretty easily done as the first time I watched the video, and not really paying that much attention, I too did a double take. It appeared for just a moment to be turning towards me, i.e. right.
It makes you wonder though, because he must have known what control inputs he was using...
Nevertheless, respect is due the pilot, no names no pack drill, for admitting to his error. It has certainly saved a lot of speculation and the possiblity of restrictive rules coming into being (or not!). |
