Default Reno Crash


From Cy of the Navion group...


[Navion eGroup] Reno crash3

I didnt race that heat because plane broke earlier that morning. I
watched the whole event.

Trim tab came off causing plane pitch violently blacking pilot out
instantly. He didn't know what hit him. If you see the picture before
impact you will see tail wheel it. That means unlock broke at or above
8 g s.
