How many experimental planes have a black box? I wonder if there are any
available on ebay...

He said emergency crews recovered the plane's black box, which may help
to piece together what went wrong.

So, where does it say anything about a flight recorder? If id does some
attitude and systems recording, that would be one step, but it would need to
include a recorder for control positions, and also cockpit and radio voice
recorders.

Oh, and have the recorder separate from the instruments, remote, in a safe
place (like the tail) and in a G and fire hardened case, painted orange.
Course, u know, but some might not know that black boxes are not black! g

Bob never told the media there was a "black box" or flight recorder. He said
the Chelton computer was recovered from the aircraft, and my understanding
is it stores a fair bit of information about a lot of things, quite a few
engine parameters, info from the AHRS, etc. There's no "hardened" place
anywhere on a BD-5 to hide anything. Too small. Radio was monitored and
recorded by the military. No CVR on these aircraft -- most people flying
alone don't talk to themselves. As usual the general media morphs statements
into unrecognizable blobs of crap. Same thing happened when I talked to the
Canadian media following Scott Manning's accident. They were pretty good
about accuracy but they got some of the details wrong, and they made the
mistake of asking a couple of armchair BD-5 "experts" at the airport in
Ottawa for comments.

Crap.

I spent extra to get a heavy duty, auto-ranging industrial irony meter,
with the 4th generation titanium filter and laser readout and
everything, less than a year ago. Pfft, it's toast. First time I've
had to use a fire extinguisher of a piece of smoking electronics.

Maybe it's still under warranty...

Gee,sorry to hear that Richard,I thought those meters were pretty bullet proof.
I've got the Binford model 27-D99 with the rectifier coupling decleaser.I keep
the anticonscraminator on high and the mode in full sweep ranging.
It had a slight murmur thru the system but it bypassed the main circuit and only
fried a fuse during the episode in question.

I sure hope you used the proper extinguisher on the fire.If not, even Scotty on
the Enterprise can't fix it :-)

See ya
