Years ago he reviewed a little homebuilt called the Capella.
Later they got on his shitlist, but when he reviewed it he did
his standared "looped, rolled and spun" story. A year later, a
couple of kids (without licenses) flying a non-registered but N
number wearing 2 place tried a zoom and pull, and pulled the
wings off. We know for they read Zoom's story. Did he influence
their decision? It's likely.

Hey, Chuck...does anyone have the N Number and full type of aircraft
on this one? Or, a copy or reference (link?) to the accident
report?

I'll see if I can find it .I'm pretty sure I have the issue with his
flight report and probably also have one with the crash report.

Excellent...thanks much!

NTSB search by keyword "capella" yielded 4 hits, one of which had
fatalities and appears to be the accident in question:

That's the one.

JIM CAMPBELL
Jim Campbell, CEO of the Aero-News Network, is a 17,000 hour
commercial pilot and flight instructor, a graduate of the National
Test Pilot School and one of the most active aviation writers and test
pilots in the business. The author of 17 books and an active member of
the X Prize and Zero-G programs, Campbell has flown or evaluated over
1100 unique flying machines since his first flight some 35 years ago
(at age 13).

He is the author of 17 books on aviation topics, most notably the 1100
page SportPlane Resource Guide, the ultimate guide to SportPlane kits;
and "Air of Injustice," an exhaustive look at the FAA's persecution of
legendary Test Pilot Bob Hoover. More recently; Campbell led the news
and photography team that provided primary media pool services for the
Ansari X PRIZE competition, including most of the SpaceShipOne air-to-
air photos that were published all over the world following the three
successful suborbital flights of Burt Rutan's world-changing
spacecraft. He has also served as principal Zero-G photographer during
several hundred parabolas for the Zero-G Corporation's Zero-Gravity
flights. A graduate of the National Test Pilot School, he is the
Publisher/Editor In Chief of the Aviation World's Daily News Service,
the Aero-News Network

He's now indicating that he is 48 years of age though prior
information had him at 50 years of age. Do you know what his actual
age is and has there been any age limitation placed on the pilots of
the RRL that you're aware of?- Hide quoted text -

I liked the part about having flown SEVERAL HUNDRED parabolas for
Zero- G Corporation's zero gravity flights. Typical zzzoom speak
"numerous, several, many never a precise number. They average 8
parabolas a flight so several hundred would require numerous flights,
probably more than they have flown :-).
