Good post. But I’d argue one point, you said to tell you about something I learned, I’ve learned a fair bit from some of my crashes.
That’s a good point. I also say not to bury your crashes under the rug. I agree – there’s lots and lots to learn from them. My gripe is with glorifying crashes. They are something to be avoided.
I love your website, read your posts etc and really enjoy your unique approach so don’t take my comment to negatively. Crashes are inevitable in this hobby so why not enjoy them. I have seen some really cool crashes and I have made my share. I am a member of a pylon racing club and mid-airs crashing into pylons are the norm. Its part of the hobby and sport so why not enjoy them. I am not a crash monger. I quit a group that built EPP foam wings and crashed into one another until only one was standing. I could not get use to the idea of building a beautiful airplane just to destroy it.
My 2 cents worth

Well said. I agree. Here’s another way of putting it:
When you describe a crash, are you doing it for its entertainment value or for its educational value? If it is for both, I’m fine with that.
