Yes; I was just commenting on the radio comms comments. I don't see how carrying or using a radio helps if one is going to fly into terrain.
Post-impact, having a handheld radio has to be a good thing (assuming somebody is alive to use it) alongside an ELT (which should work regardless of survivors).
But why would "A change in 5 knts of wind or a change in direction of 10 degrees or less can completely change things." result in a crash? Are microlighters flying 100ft AGL?
