1)Looks like somebody either told them of the stall (whether it was my
email or not) and they corrected the article. Sounds like they
misquoted the flight sim tech as I had thought.

2)What an unfortunate and strange crash. The ink must've still been
wet on that guys PPL, and he's flying around in a complex, high power
Bonanza w/ his student pilot daughter at the controls? Why do people
do this?? What a waste of life and airplane.

The article says he owned it for 6 months - It is not unreasonable to assume
he had been trained in it and was fairly competent in it. The speculation
about the ink being wet and such is silly. Perhaps you could not handle the
plane, or other fresh pilots when they just come out of a 152 or 172, but it
is not impossible to have a fairly low time pilot be able to fly that plane.
(They handle quite nicely - things just happen quicker...)

If I had the money I would have bought a plane like that instead of a
grumman cheetah for my training. Why not?
