Interesting what Jackson has to say. I would ask whether this aft CG induced pitch instability was noted during practice and qualifying. If so, wouldn't it have been addressed? I would tend to think so, but I wasn't there and am not privy to what went on inside Jimmy's team. Maybe Matt is...
I'd also be interested in knowing more about the sound of the trim tab breakage on tape. Which tape? Was the microphone in the airplane or somewhere on the ground? I ask only because I want to confirm that the sound noted is time synced with the visual and telemetry data.
As for the rumors about NTSB recommendations and insurance company willingness to issue policies for future races, that's reassuring even if only a rumor. I hope it's true and that the FAA won't come up with ridiculous rules. I also hope the race haters in Lemon Valley don't gain any extra traction because of the crash.
