The news channels did not report my name, but you did. By all means report about the accident but reporting the deceased name particularly when you get it wrong, does nothing for aviation safety. The fact you did not even offer an apology for what you did says it all.

I suspect about the accident you did not get that from a casa website but from the Aviation Safety Network which is just individuals posting what this like. That information has now been corrected. But your reply says it all.

To the contributors of this post I am pretty disgusted. I can assure you that I am live and well and my Zenith 750 Cruzer (vh-8ct) still yet to be completed is safely sitting in my hangar. To place the name of a deceased person on this website is totally unacceptable. To get it wrong is even worse. This post has caused my family and myself major stress. This will be reported to the controller of this website. Never post this type of information unless you are 100% certain of the facts, and never under any circumstances report a name. Shame on the lot of you. For the record, the aircraft that went down was a Zenith 801 and was built and flown by a friend of mine, and right now this is a difficult time.
