Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Apollo North American not at fault in Fatal inflight breakup!

I knew and witnessed a fatal crash from a guy back in the 80's who flew an Eagle XL ultralight in Alaska. This aircraft has a canard out front. The engine's anti torque cable was not checked at preflight, or over looked. When he was out of ground effect, the cable popped off hit his prop, the plane stalled but didn't recover, instead the canard dipped down and kept going and rolled under itself, the airplane did a 180 and the wings folded up. --- On Fri, 11/13/09, apollonorthamerica <apollonorthamerica@yahoo.com> wrote: From: apollonorthamerica <apollonorthamerica@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Apollo North American not at fault in Fatal inflight breakup!

So the Tundra trike (the accident aircraft) in your opinion was a trike designed by and manufactured by Apollo North America? For your information, that ludicrous assumption didn't stand in the lawsuit either. http://www.ultralig htflyer.com/ EAA_sun_n_ fun_2005/ 17.html Just because in the transition period the person/entity filling out the paperwork put their name as the builder or for that matter put MICHAEL HUCKLE as the builder's name (nothing stopped them from doing exactly that) on their Airborne trike, that just makes them the manufacturer and designer and not Airborne?? http://aircraftdata .w3ec.com/ aircraft/ weightshiftcontr ol/KruckerManufa cturingTundra582 ~65908 And even so The Tundra trike and Aeros wing did not break up in the sky till it was taken upside down. Read the report from NTSB and then read the FAA recommendation for Zodiac - carefully -.
