CELEBRATING OUR 12TH BIRTHDAY

"• A report on the two enthusiasts killed when aerobating a Duo Discus. Timely Warning! "

The thread on here said that neither pilot was known to do aeros, and they were pre-start for a competition cross-country. I don't think it can be assumed they were doing intentional aeros, unless someone has better information. As the owner of a Schempp 2 seater I would love to know (and about the Arcus M break-up).

I am not a subscriber but would like to know more about the Duo accident as we just had one near Reno last month.
I am sure other RAS readers would like to know as well.
It is mind boggling if another Duo went down this year.

I thought they must be referrring to another accident. The one near Reno was NOT aerobatic related! We concluded this without a doubt based on many factors including interviews with eye witnesses. 2-3 second loops is not an aerobatic manuever it is a glider out of control.
