Subject: | Slingshot airframe for sale- East TN |
The Slingshot airframe is officially for sale now that I've removed the engine,
instruments, electrical etc for transplant into the Onex. Price is $6000 firm,
or $7500 if you like to haggle :-) The plane is located at Athens TN, KMMI.
Of course it's a terrible time to try to buy or sell something like this, but
things will get better eventually. Email for more info, and additional pictures.

I've seen pictures of similar crashes. Is there an issue where the prop or
something gets flung from the prop and strikes the boom tube?=C2- Other c
rash photos on the web of kolbs show it kinked there. See the photo from th
e news article attached.

I am not a Crash expert, although I have managed to do so three times so
far, but this looks to me like what would result from a stall. Notice how
much the nose is crumpled and the plane is in a "lawn Dart" position. The
broken boom tube is quite a ways past where the prop would strike, plus the
prop is still on the plane, so I doubt that the prop was involved in the
accident at all, perhaps other than running at the time. The original
picture shows the runway about 2-3 hundred yards behind the plane.
However it is perhaps foolish to second guess anyone much less this poor
guy.
I once stalled about 50 feet above my runway trying to master slow flight.
I looked away for a second and the plane dropped nose down, as I watched my
ASI go past 30 MPH the wrong direction. I was in a steep angle descent when
I punched the throttle full forward. It of course took a looong time to
spool up, but I managed to get it into a close to level attitude before
impact but I still hit one gear leg hard enough to break off the axle of my
right gear leg, and bury the gear leg all the way up to the bottom of the
cage. I blame the VG's for my survival.

I had a bad landing ( FS ll ) that resulted in a broken boom tube at the sam
e place shown in the photo-
The H-section ends where the break is. Maybe the H-section could be longer..
.but I would expect that the boom would still be destroyed, just further aft
.
I also had damage to the fuselage sleeve that accepts the gear leg.
Any design ideas for a J-3 type of bungee shock absorber? Fuselage would rea
lly need reviewing.
