Courtney... I agree all your comment
Point taken.
Of course if you read my comments you will see that Andy is, not was... We wish him well and whatever his injuries, we hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.
And of course there could be a hundred mechanical reasons that led to this terrible accident. I personally am always concerned about loose articles and have found lots in Club aeroplanes, all of which could have resulted in jammed controls and an accident.
We just have to wait until ALL the facts are known.
