maybe a new thread starter.

 

Everyone seems to be a crash expert. OK sports fans work out what happened here.

Folks,

 

First guess, wrong flap setting.

I'd have to agree with you Bill...and I would suspect they were a little early going three dimensional..judging by the wing drop..hope they got out OK

 

 

[Ultralights]

first mistake was handing someone a camera!

Looks as if only one wing tank was filled with fuel from those 44 gallon drums in the movie. Wrong weight distribution, perhaps?

Yes we are all keyboard experts, but it is good to discuss thing like this I reckon,

 

Short runway, probably heavily loaded, trying to make her fly before it was ready, you can see he's got the stick almost all the way back which can prolong the T/O distance. Bit of a wing drop towards the end you can hear the wingtip hit the ground or a fence maybe, then it's all over.

I'm definitely the last person to know, but I've seen a short field take off in a Twotter before and the flap certainly wasn't out that much.

left hand brake on?

 

 

[Guest ozzie]

maybe he did not reconfigure after landing. normally they can do good enough on ten deg, certaintly accelerate a bit faster than that did.. the ailerons are down as well so that's 30deg at least. maybe a bit of downwind finished it off.

 

 

[eightyknots]

There must be an official report on this somewhere?

I dunno about the flap idea... Looks like ya classic asking too much too early kinda thing.Hope all are ok.
