Sorry Abid, but is this a DIFFERENT Apollo North American?
I'm not really familiar with the weight shift models so maybe there's another?

Maybe this Apolla North American trike was being flown by someone without proper training, seems like an instructor or salesman or somebody should have taught the unfortunate pilot that negative-G maneuvers would kill him? Do you know wher(or IF) he got any training in weight shift aircraft?

No big deal, I have no real interest in these planes, just showing that we as pilots can break our aircraft if we go outside the envelope.
