About two years ago I received a lot of flack from many on this newsletter
for my warning of the dangers in the Windrose motorglider by Maupin. Many
quoted the seemingly good flight characteristics of the Windrose from South
Africa built by "Mush".
Recently I received an email that that glider has also crashed in a spin
accident about two years ago. No one reported it!
I was obviously the last to know.... but it certainly seems to support my
assertion that this glider has not been thoroughly tested and by the deaths
and accidents seems to point to a dangerous design.
I have also noticed that statistically, Gliders that spin have the most
fatalities, this may prove to be a good topic to discuss.

Is there anyone out there to give more light to this idea?
