PUTTING THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WITH WARMUP TIME THE SHIP WAS NOT EVEN IN THE AIR AN HOUR. IF THEY HAD DONE 1 MORE HOUR OF TESTING THE MACHINE WOULD HAVE BLOWN UP AT THE FACTORY NOT AT IN THE AIR KILLING 2 GOOD MEN.
THE NTSB HAS CLOSED THE CASE BUT THE FAA HAS REOPENED IT, SITING DIFFERENCES. THE CYCLIC CONTROL WAS NOT TOUCHED BY THE PASSENGER.
THE SHIP WAS STOPPED IN AIR AND FELL OUT OF THE SKY THE TAILBOOM WAS SEPARATED BY THE FORCE OF THE BLADES COMING AROUND AND ENTERING THE COCKPIT. DEADSTOP.
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT HAPPENED?
ROBINSON ALSO PUT UP AN SERVICE BULLETIN ON HIS WEBSITE ASKING TO INSPECT YOUR BLADES EVERY 100 HOURS. DATED JUNE 6,2006 HUH
THE MEN FLYING TO CANADA PASSED THE AUTOSPY REPORT NO HEALTH PROBLEMS. THE PILOT ALSO HAD OVER 7500 HRS EXPERIENCE IN HELICOPTERS. AND HAD BEEN FLYING ALL HIS LIFE.
YOU TELL ME WHAT WENT WRONG!!!!!
At the risk of continuing a sham, who told you that the NTSB "closed the case"??????? That is absurd and a lie. The investigation has barely "opened" and no data or results have been announced yet. Stop telling or repeating falsehoods. The NTSB has not closed the case. It takes sometimes a year or more for the NTSB to end their investigation and report their final verdicts.
I'd say you're a Robbie hater and nothing more.
