Why microlights are safer

Postby IFLYHI » Thu Sep 01, 2005 1:41 pm

I was reading the tread on Avcomhttp://www.avcom.co.za/phpBB2/viewtopic ... 72867e29f9

I feel badly for this man :cry:

See http://www.ainslie.co.za/shoddyjob.htm

And they say microlighting is dangerous :evil:

80% of the problem is the "pro" that looks after your plane is not flying your plane :evil:
There we have the advantage already :D

Also when one does the walk-about the plane, everything is open for you to inspect 8) so if it does not look right it wont fly right :twisted:

When I bought my Basic (MXII) before I even found a flight school :oops: ( topic for another day) I decided to have everything checked out by the "pro", there was rumour about his work but he assured me it was spread by malicious people :roll:

Here is a short list of things that went wrong:

The back-up cables snapped as I was taxiing back to the hanger, he used these cables to to bear load :twisted:
The first time I went two up, the plane become a prop driven go-cart, racing up and down the RW, the pitch of the prop was completely wrong :twisted:
The bearing on the reduction gear didn't last 2hr :twisted:
When I inspected the main axial it was one big crack waiting to break :twisted:

The question is do we name-an-shame these individuals or will we face angry lawyers if we do -xX

Please share similar experiences
No it does not glide- it FLIES
