No doubt you are on the money, Rusty. When folks are already predisposed to bad mouth the rotary - this will only be more ammunition. "See! even with umpteen million dollars you can't get one to fly" {:>). But, I serious doubt it will effect many who have researched the rotary and come to understand its benefits - as for the rest, who cares {:>)

Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Mistral Crash Analysis

I'm certain it was a relief to Mistral that the culprit was not one of their engine components.

Whew! a close one for sure.

Hi Ed,

Unfortunately, I bet the majority of people will only hear “Mistral rotary”, “lost power”, and “crash” :-(
