Trevor, my comment about sweeping statements was because you said: "It is time for the LAA/CAA to start from a position of yes this group of aircraft should fly; what proof is there preventing safe flight. Not from a position of no you cannot fly unless you prove xxxx yyyy zzzz." Unquote.
Please read my posts again
That comment was not made by me. It was in fact made by Paul. In the last 3/4 lines of his post timed at Wed 6 June 8.48 PM after he had quoted my remarks regarding cavalier attitudes.
Please read it again. I say again I DID NOT MAKE THAT COMMENT!!!

I do not know who the person was who either bent it, repaired it, sold it, signed it off. But for an a/c to be in the "serviceable a/c" loop in such a condition is not in my opinion funny. Rest assured it is being fixed correctly but that doesn't excuse those upstream of now.
Sorry I won't give names, regs or details. In the wrong hands the accident stats would have increased.
I am sure reasonably sure that the LAA and the CAA have seen work signed off as "serviceable" on all aircraft types which is anything but "serviceable" but the point you seemed to be making on your previous postAs the word their when writing about gyros implies that all gyro owners/engineers are cowboys reinforces the individual and corporate sub conscious against gyros when in reality it is an individual who has behave in the way discribed and who in all likelihood will continue to do so, regardless of the aircraft involved! If I appear to be overly sensitive then my apologies, but I have decided it is time to challenge stereotyping of gyrocopters as an unsafe aircraft consciously or unconsciously. It is time for the LAA/CAA to start from a positon of yes this group of aircraft should fly; what proof is there preventing safe flight. Not from a position of no you cannot fly unless you prove xxxx yyyy zzzz.Also since my last post I have, by pure co-incidence, discovered a somewhat cavalier attitude to their operation/maintenance/record keeping "system". So perhaps I should review my opinion
Cheers Paul
ps those xxxx are not kisses
