+Olham Posted March 25, 2013 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.
Flyby PC Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I know it looks bad, but it doesn't say whether it's a write off or can be repaired.
JFM Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Are they reporting this as "news"? This is from 20 months ago, July 2011.
Hellshade Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 What an amazing sound the engine has. Thanks for sharing.
