Yes well I was trying to be kind and find a positive where there is not much of that in evidence. I also have a view that the so called drop test for the tank was unfair in that the tank doesn't fly around on its own but in fact has skids under it and a frame around it. Having said that the results of a crash are self evident and its probably ok just as a demo of how they might react to a hit. I believe there is more damage coming from the flex plate assembly flogging the bejesus out of everything when the tail departs that is the bigger problem. Overall it was hard to find too much inaccuracy in the report though except, that no one mentioned that you have to crash first before there is a problem, no crash , no burn.
