Not looking to open old wounds. One question.

Was the case against Eastern Sailplane ( Tim Donovan 2009 ASG-29 accident) successful?



Rick Lake


Tom Kelley posted a link to some court proceedings that appears to have been deleted by google groups (i.e. someone clicking "abusive post.")

Per the court proceedings I found the contentions we

1) The wing main pins were defective and were rusting (two sets)
2) The plane enters an unrecoverable spiral dive after entering a spin (problem with all ships of model)

Can any ASG-29 drivers comment?
