Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Apollo North American not at fault in Fatal inflight breakup!

OK Abid, you have put forth a whole long list of possible causes in your response(s) .

 

 

I can see where other peoples' wild speculations and un-informed explanations to what happened to this aircraft that your company built is definitley un-productive and only serve to put your company (and the Light Sport industry) in a bad light.

I hope you can see the same when YOU express your own un-informed opinions on other companys' craft.

 

thanks for participating in the discussion,

Rick

Yes he did know better. As to why he went into negative G's is a matter of pure speculation really. Here are some of the most popular speculations around here about that accident in the order of popularity. Mind you to keep these what they are and these don't necessarily reflect my views at all.

1) The passenger interfered severely on controls and froze for unknown reasons
2) The passenger was possibly suicidal as circumstantial evidence suggests to some people here who seem completely convinced this is what caused interference and struggle for control
3) The combination of two 21 year olds was feeling invincible and went outside the envelope of the pilot's own abilities
4) It was a wingover that went out of control
5) Who knows!
