I just wonder why ATSB and the almighty CASA have not picked up on the fact that quite a LARGE (stalistically) number; % wise; of 'kit built’ aircraft have been catching fire- in flight? All fuel related ? Seems to me we’ve had a fair few lately – staring with that Copper in Tassy. "Trend" perhaps?
Is it that CASA are ‘removed’ from these ‘incidents’ by clever manipulation of their remit – for “safety”? How many more need to “catch fire” before this small, but persistent ‘anomaly” is examined with the same microscopic view as Angel Flight are getting.
Fair Dinkum – it stinks.
Toot – off to the BBQ – toot.
