The safey seminars are always good value, especially after a extremely nasty event like this. They generally state what we already know, but tend to remind us, and pull us back inline, on how accidents can happen, especially when the boundaries are pushed. How often have we heard of experienced pilots ( instuctors even ) coming to grief ! This Guy was very experienced on his type, and a local, so it was his turf, and if you knew him he was a stong minded assertive person, that has been known to take risks, or at least push the boundaries. In this case the boundaries caught him out. It was an accident ! He had probably done similar things, many, many times before and got away with it.

From what I felt on talking to him much earlier in the day, and pervious days just about aircraft and flying etc.. he was not one to have taken any advice from anyone, no matter how useful or well meaning it was.

No matter how much training, or advice would have changed the outcome. It just pays to be conservative, and have a good attitude with our type of high risk sport. Always has. Hence the old says about "Old pilots, vs Bold pilots". "If you have time to spare, go by air"

Welcome to the forums Rob. From your join date, it looks like you have been a lurker for a while.Sorry I can't help with where you would get a model with movable control surfaces, other than to construct one yourself. Have you tried hobby shops that specialise in model R/C aircraft.

I haven't tried the model shops yet but I was hoping somebody has come up with just the right thing already.

However, I will pop in to one, as I love model aircraft anyway. Hmmm, that could be dangerous !

Hi Guys, and luckily a few Girls.

I've been flying and teaching Microlights for about 18 years, and even in schools overseas a few times. Triking has been great to me. I have recently jumped on the 3 axis LSA bandwagon in a Foxbat LSA. I find it very civilised, and it has increased my flying time exponentially. I know it is a new toy, but I can't understand anybody who wouldn't want to fly one. Life is great !!!

Does anybody know where I can buy a desktop model of a 3-axis aircraft with moveable control surfaces, that I can use for Instruction purposes ? Thanks, Rob......
