xxxxx's self-admitted failures are easy to read. See, he is not

Why do you?

Badly frayed cable on the horizontal stabilizer. AI caught it while
fueling the aircraft. Showed it to the pilot who decided it would
make back home, about 30 miles. AI actually begged his pax to stay
behind. At about 200' on take off the cable failed. Aircraft did a
complete loop impacting the ground at about a 60 degree angle.
Nothing left of the aircraft more than knee high. Engine buried
about 2'. Pilot died instantly, but the pax with all broken bones,
struggled for help for almost 5 minutes before expiring.

The guilt you should feel for not stopping both of them. What a cad
you are.

Franklin

franklin you should be ashamed of yourself.
you have no details of the incident other than what maxwell posted so
you are not in a position to judge him.
you have no idea what condition the cable actually was.
if the aircraft was refuelling it made the last flight ok and there is
nothing to say that the pilot may have been correct.

in this world you are free to make your own choices ...and wear the
consequences.
when was the last time you flew an aircraft?

tragic as it was maxwell isnt to blame.

Both "Maxwell" and "Franklin " are both socks by the
same puppeteer. His socks are insulting one another.

I posted something similar to the following to Ramapriya:

Please excuse my namesake's behavior. Unfortunately he's a sock who is
antagonising you in the hope that you will retaliate against me. That
sock has a long history and lots of names. He spends his day setting up
elaborate trolls with carefully disguised identities.

(1) In alt.comp.freeware he's well-known as "Bear Bottoms", "Ari", David
W" and literally dozens of other names.

(2) In the aviation groups he's known as Maxwell, Payton Byrd and many
other names which posters here know better than I do.

(3) He hangs out on 1960s/1970s music groups like the Beatles, Zeppelin,
Doors, Genesis, Jethro Tull, and so on.

(4) Unsurprisingly, a k00k like him hangs out on the 2600 and hacking
groups.

Although retired, he still fantasizes about being a pilot or special forces
operative which is why you see a lot of him. The only thing he can fly is
a toy airplane.

His attempts to be irritating:

The rest may be true, but I'm Maxwell, and I haven't seen anyone use my name
in several months.

"parking" brake on a Cessna 172 came out in my hand
"bad mag check", as in the engine would not even run on one mag.. it was
totally dead, that has happened more than once on various aircraft.
"a funny noise" in the full deflection of the elevator, found a screw that
was too long had been used to anchor an inspection panel and the lengthy end
was rubbing on the trim spring

just to name a few

Has any of you has ever discovered something during the pre-flight
inspection that necessitated a significant deferrment of your flight
plan or a cancelation altogether? Just curious, that's all.

Thanks,

Did the usual walk-around and found nothing amiss. Then fired up the
engine only to see the tach come up, then drop back to zero (engine
running).
It was more than just a bad tach - the engine was toast (making lots
of metal). Not really unexpected, as it was suspect when we bought the
plane
about a year earlier (and figured into the purchase price). Replaced
it with a reman - which has proven to be a good decision.

Rubbing noise when checking aileron = interconnect spring came off -
canceled flight
Bad mag during runup couldn't clear - canceled flight

Yeah, mechanic told me the airplane would be ready Saturday morning.
Preflight revealed that airplane was still in pieces on his shop
floor.

Then there was the time a snow plow had clipped a tie down and pulled
a strut out of the wing.
