    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    But the data recorder registered switches being switched. That rules out chip malfunction...even if it was temporary.

    See a couple of these flying around Centennial (KAPA) occasionally. they do look good and sound weird in the air, but the design suffers on the ground, they just look chonky, and nowhere near as sleek as the stats say they are. I still wish the Starship had made a go of it - damned sexy plane!

    The stupidity of some pilots is astounding. There is always going to be that 10-ish percent you can't reach, who will give general aviation a bad name. This was an Exhibit A. Having sat on the grass watching incoming traffic a few times at OSH I got scared enough that I decided I'll stick with commercial/public transportation to get there and leave the airplane I worked hard to build at home where it's not at risk from the (arguably small percentage of) idiots.

    Definitely not a place for the nervous or unprepared!
    I was listening to the ATC feed live yesterday. They were way more patient with him than they needed to be. They cleared one whole approach just to get him in when he refused to divert. Meanwhile 50 other planes landed while he was wandering around. I need the part two of the ground crews trying to flag him around though!
    The guys kept making jokes yesterday every time there was a retractable gear coming in. Something like it works better for everyone if you don’t forget to put your gear down. Then today I see they had a gear failure on Sunday. No injuries thankfully but the plane doesn’t look good. All the jokes made sense then.
