When I first started building N601MX, I knew very little about building. I THOUGHT I knew something about flying, but in retrospect I was only starting to learn. When people say things like "Flutter" and "Structural Failure" it gets some people a little jumpy. Some people who may not feel confident in their project may momentarily loose heart. You can almost see it in some of their posts. The number of emails goes up, the amount of information in the emails goes down, and we're left at the end with no conclusions. Then in a little while, they get back to building (or in my case flying) and realize how much fun this whole thing is. It sure would be nicer if we didn't have to wade through all the words to find out someone is just temporarily scared. Frequently is best to wait and get more information as it becomes available.
I am the kind of person who reads all of the NTSB accident reports I can, looking for anything I can learn. I currently see nothing in these reports that makes me want to stop flying or stop carrying passengers. The 601XL is about as docile and well tested as any homebuilt design. With the take-off, climb and landing performance of my plane, I feel it is much safer than the rental 172s I was flying. Also, I KNOW my plane inside and out. It really pays to fly one plane repeatedly and know it's quirks and strengths.
Chris Heintz has done a great job with the 601, 701 and 801 series. He deserves his place the EAA Hall of Fame.
