Sym P. le's latest activity

I believe the image of the rear wing spar shows that it is substantially bent down from the wing surface, consistent with the fuselage...

Right side-stay oriented as deployed, seen from the rear (note the hose fittings run along the aft surface). The schematics are of the...

I don't know what kind of games the TSB is up to but it's rather juvenile. This frame has double stacked images, their Flickr account...

The side-stay would fracture in close succession to the rear spar failure. The front spar would go later. Regarding the spar shear...

It seems the PF reacted to a "performance-increasing" wind gust by pulling back the throttle and then never recovered, though it may be...

Maybe we should be engineering built in height monitoring, as in built into the truck cab?

The material seems to be some type of composite given the ragged and fibrous torn edges, not to mention all the "crumbs" on the ground.

The only reason this incident didn't have a more drastic outcome is because the failure occurred just coming out of the lift station...

Thanks for speaking up. The pink line attempts to represent the torn edge of the wing skin, which we see in the crash evacuation video...

Some graphical musings regarding the evacuation of the wing structure (using previous images flipped, rotated, and inside out to ease...

Or we can keep deluding ourselves that the wheels fell off? My initial frame by frame review was of a poor quality video. I thought I...

I put up a new video edit of the landing on Youtube that shows the intensity of the touchdown in Hi Res. A few additional frames...

From the build it video, we can derive the wing/fuselage connections. It's easy to see how the rear fuselage connection can punch out...

Thanks, I misread the chart. Even so it's worth noting there could have been 3,000 lbs. of fuel in the wing (or what ever the...
