Jan 17, 2013 12:02 | #3 I've wondered the same thing. He may have expected a quicker reaction from the controls than he got. Hard to know and with it happening in Cozumel I doubt whether that kind of info will ever make it to our regular news sources.

Jan 17, 2013 19:15 | #5 I found another article on it & it says he was flying a Decathlon, which is much slower in the air & on the controls. The crash site photo also made me think of a Decathlon. A skill is developed through constant practice with a passion to improve, not bought.
