Interesting week for airlines, the number of tyre and wheel related issues seems to be well up, A Boeing 747 dreamlifter lost a whole wheel and tyre on takeoff, and theres been a lot of failed or burst tyres reported, as the numbers seem well up it seems maybe some related cause,various air accident agencies are looking into it.
In another incident a home made untralight aircraft crashed killing the pilot/builder. It seems odd to be advising building your own plane is a bad idea (well unless your name is Mr Boeing) but I'm doing because it's a bloody silly idea.
I know the idea of flight is well known and should be easy but it's not, building a safe plane isn't simple, the Wright brothers had at least 8 major crashes, and a lot more scares. Please dont build your own plane, pretty please.
