Olham 164 Posted March 25, 2013 Yo, I've seen it recently - good luck for the pilot; a broken arm is better than a broken neck. These old types are the "aircraft babie"s of a yet to grow up industry - I guess they had their baby problems here or there. Starts and landings might be more tricky with a short wingspan. This little video shows a landing in a crosswind. Pilot broke off the first attempt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flyby PC 23 Posted March 25, 2013 I know it looks bad, but it doesn't say whether it's a write off or can be repaired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
