Elevator failure on a fullscale airplane sux!!!

My father WAS a spray plane pilot, he broke a elevator cable in a high bank low altitude corner, the plane went straight in!!! he said he really didn't have time to even say ****!!
I'll bet sean is thankin his lucky stars that part failed when it did!! sometimes you do not have that many options!!

can't believe that beautiful little bipe is in pieces

glad sean tucker is still in one piece

**Kiwi** · 04-06-2006, 03:33 PM

Whoooo

That puts a whole new meaning on the term yard sale or community service.

Still glad to see he's OK and the planes replaceable so that dont matter at all.

I wonder how many guys are out there pulling the pole out of the PITTS to see if it cracked or fatigued right now???

geez,
that's really scary. atleast in airliners there are like 2 control sticks. one for each pilot and i think they are hooked together. glad he's ok, the plane can be replaced but he can't, ryan

I dont believe the stick actually broke. If it did he would not have had any aileron. He was kind enough to share his story at Sun-N-Fun while signing posters. I believe it was a heim joint but I know the stick didn't break off. He said it broke at 220 mph at 20 feet. He said that there was too much lag time using the trim to try and land. It was really cool hearing it straight from the man.

jack01 · 04-10-2006, 09:36 PM

That makes sense, cause' that stick wouldn't just snap like that. There's not a whole lot of force on the stick itself with the controls being balanced and with spades and all.

Right on bro.
