No great loss, those Cox and Wen Mac plastic models didn't fly all that well; overweight and underpowered. Balsa models flew so much better, and more important, were easier to repair.

No great loss, those Cox and Wen Mac plastic models didn't fly all that well; overweight and underpowered. Balsa models flew so much better, and more important, were easier to repair.I didn't fly my P-51 much. Dad went to start it one time and it fired up and nailed his finger, so he lost interest in helping me fly the thing.
Really? Well in that case im even more amazed & confused by his statement. But then im guessing it has more to do with personal issues rather than factual. Im not being disrespectful, but the facts are out there. There are half a dozen well known cases of pilot error leading to fatal crashes... As well as computer error leading to pilots making bad decisions or simply no decisions.You do realize DerAdler IS an investigator??
"Pilot error" and " frozen with fear" (the original comment) are NOT the same thing! Let's keep the curveballs out of this ballgame.the facts are out there. There are half a dozen well known cases of pilot error leading to fatal crashes...

Well seeing as i was replying to someone else what do you think.....Is that in reference to my post?

I did reply to you separately.
And you need to stop talking to me like im some kind of idiot. Im amazed you have any association with aircraft safety when making claims such as that. Im guessing you didnt take part in too many real accident investigations....Pilot error is not freezing in fear at the controls...
Personal issues? Excuse me. You make unfounded statements, and I have personal issues. You need to stop being such a damn snowflake.

If you have issues with me then come talk to me privately. But dont try to belittle me in front of your buddies. Only narcissists do that. Personally i dont care if you need your ego boosting, just dont use me to do it. I think maybe king of the hill syndrome is setting in. And it's getting boring.....
Guys, guys, this isn't a snarkiness contest! Let's all take a deep breath, count to ten, then try to stuff the ego back in the bottle. OK?
Cheers,

You just dont like it because im not all up you're arse like everyone else. As for man issues. A man would resolve an issue one on one in private. So i call bs on that. It's strange how you are quick enough to call me derogatory names when the only time you ever comment on my posts is to point out faults. And i wouldnt mind, i have nothing against constructive criticism or inaccurate details. But we both know 99% of the time you're just knit picking. I understand you must get a kick from it. It must make you're day when you do find fault. But hey, if thats what it takes to feel good about yourself carry on. I have respect for those that have respect for me. Everything i say you call me out for being wrong or just stupid. I think you forget or maybe just ignore that a persons opinion does not always equal fact. Im not interested in getting into a knowledge battle with anyone. But at the same time im not going to be pacifist, or bow down to another persons perception of reality. If im wrong and stand to be corrected about something i except that. But im entitled to my beliefs the same as anyone else. Except i dont call people silly names or try to make them look bad because of their views. That's what freedom of speech is about.Pilot error is not freezing in fear at the controls...
Personal issues? Excuse me. You make unfounded statements, and I have personal issues. Maybe though you should try ti understand what you are talking about first.
You made two false statements, that I simply commented on. Maybe you need to man up, and stop being a snowflake. I think it is you who has the personal issues, starting with accepting criticism.

I think you need to get some help. I'm not a mental health expert but I think you have some kind of inferiority complex.
First Smokey I have not once talked to you like you are an idiot. Correcting you is not belittling you. This is a message board. It is a learning community, where people exchange views, opinions and facts. People make incorrect statements all the time. We all do. And we all correct each other. It's what happens on a message board. Doing so is not talking to them like they are an idiot.
Secondly, in regards to the above statement you made to false statements.
1. Pilots today don't learn to fly the old school way.
2. Pilots freezing up in fear at the controls.
Both are wrong statements. All pilots even today start out the same way as they did 75 years ago. A lil single engine piston plane. Usually a Cessna of some sorts that uses a system of pullies and cables to manipulate the flight controls. There is no automation in it. After that, all pilots are required to maintain proficiency at "flying" the aircraft.
I don't think you will find a case of pilots freezing at the controls in fear. That is just a false statement. Pilot error is not freezing at the controls. It's simply just an erroneous statement backed up by no facts whatsoever at all. Believe me you don't even see that in your "source" you cited in the TV show Crash Investigations. I own all of them, and not a single one has a pilot freezing at the controls in fear.
I don't completely disagree with you that we are becoming too reliant on automation. That's one of the reasons that when I fly I still enjoy using the old mechanic E6B and paper planning from time to time. So I don't lose those skills. That does not mean Automation is bad though. When properly used and functioning correctly, it actually makes flying safer. Why? Because when it's working properly it removes the human element. All humans make mistakes.
So again, all I did was address two false statements you made. I didn't do so in a condescending manner. I didn't talk to you like you are an idiot. You are the one with the personal issue here. You are the one who fired the first salvos. You are the one who time and time again gets upset when people question what you post. There is no need for that, this is a learning community. We all learn from each other. God knows I do. There are many people here with worlds of more experience than myself.
Now to address your attempt at personal insults to me. What's really getting boring is your inability to take criticism or be corrected. You show this trait over and over again, thread after thread. It's you that has the ego problem, not I.
I've been in the aviation industry for 18 years now. I've been a mechanic, an air crew member, and I am a pilot. Your right, I have not done that many investigations. I have moved into this part of the career field just over a year ago. But I have participated in a few investigations to date, and I have formal training and schooling in it. Investigations are done as a team with many various subject matter experts. I'm not the subject matter expert on everything, nor do I claim to be.
What are your credentials?
Stop taking things so personal. Get laid or something. I'll leave it at that.
Im not the one who has the problem. But i can remove myself from the situation. Do the adult thing to do seeing as im talking to a five year old...Guys, guys, this isn't a snarkiness contest! Let's all take a deep breath, count to ten, then try to stuff the ego back in the bottle. OK?

lol You posted in the wrong place. This should be in the joke section.....I'm not the person with the ego issue.
