So when the media get the aircraft type wrong it's completely unacceptable, but when a pilot gets it wrong, well whatever, it don't matter, you're just being pedantic....

My apologies for pointing out that you were inadvertently denigrating an aircraft type with a very good safety record.
Does this article also require an apology?

You’ve woken up in that mood again! Spent all that time trying to find something - anything - as an ex post facto justification for your error.

And then you didn’t read the stats correctly.

The bar of the maneuvering at low altitude stats showed the Glasair way in front of anything else. The report I referred to was about maneuvering at low altitude, so whether it was a Glasair or Lancair is irrelevant in the context of low time ppl holders flying high performance home build's. If you are going to spend the money on a high performance kit plane then the message is spend the money on training as it will be a significant step up from the Cessna or Piper you have been flying. Sensibilities over the brand name of the kit plane is just bollocks.

What’s wrong with saying “I made a mistake, my memory was faulty, thanks for the correction”, instead of accusations of pedantry.

Come to think of it, you are not my ex spouse are you LL?

Mr Balloon was only trying to help. He is being similarly mistreated in another thread where he is giving perfectly rational advice to someone who doesn’t like what he is being told no matter how accurate it is.

And no, I am not his mother, or father.

Nice to see LB has a fan club, but if
He is being similarly mistreated in another thread
then I suggest its Mr Balloon and his lawyer style of confrontation that might be the problem. If you are not his mother or father then WTF cares who you are.

Thumbs down

I never cease to be amazed at just how quickly a thread in this section of Pprune can turn into a slangfest/s***fight!

It never ceases to amaze me that when people are respectfully pointed in the correct direction that their ego will not let them accept that direction or allow them to back down. I dunno who LB is but I suspect that he/she may have some inside knowledge of how the regulator works. I also reckon he/she is a pilot, so pretty well placed to make comment.
