| Subject: | Barcelona translation |
I have a Columbian friend that I asked to translate the Barcelona crash
text for me. He said that their syntax is a little different, but was
able to come up with the following:
The airplane was making a local flight of 30 minutes when it was
returning to its base, and five minutes before landing, the airplane
according to
witnesses initiated a descent down a small hill according
to what they were able to observed at different angles. The wings of the
plane
bent in flight.
One was able to observe the right wing bending crushing the cabin,
producing a loud sound, and finally ended up on top of the
left wing, the frame didn't break or separate from it only
bend.
Another witness was about 600meters and in its path
he noticed a plane at very low altitude, he observe to see what it was doing
or where it was going, with great surprised, he noticed that the wings
were bent, pieces of the cabin
were flying through the air (after it was confirmed that there were
pieces of the plane spread around the streets within a 300meter radius
before impact
pieces of lexan mostly of small dimensions, the plane was making an
acrobat in the air and disappeared behind a small hill according
to the witness.
A second person and at a closer zone, in the same area at
300meters before impact, heard a loud noise, that made him turn around
to look at the plane. He saw a plane with a bent wing and making a very
loud noise and the wing was moving,
he also talks about the final acrobat in the air before crashing,
against the dirt very vertically the motor was still
running with many revolutions, the motor separated at quite a few meters
because of
strong impact.

You're right my plans don't have the problem. Plus i get 20 mm instrument panel
:)
You didn't say if you are building from plans or kit. But building from plans
I had no problem in the area you are reporting. Good luck getting it straight.

since your plans came out. Here is what I found:
>
> 2/2005 width of instrument panel changed from 938 mm to 934 mm
> 7/2005 width of instrument panel changed from 934 mm to 918 mm.

> My panel measures 918 mm - perhaps yours does not. In that case, I may be dealing
with a problem that doesn't exist for you.

> One thing for others to take from this is that if you buy updated plans you better
check to make sure that your parts match the current plans in dimension
if they were purchased earlier.

Patrick:
Wow! There are lots of ways to skin a cat! (my daughter's least favorite expression).
My BRS mounts are completely different from either of the drawings you
posted. I got my drawings from BRS, then sent them back some small revisions
for the XL since their drawings were for the non-XL 601.
I have an extra attach point up front and my rear point is on the bottom longerons
tied into the step support.
I guess all three ways would work if you needed to pull the red handle.

Dan,
I'm building from the standard kit. I don't know if I would have what it takes
to build from scratch as you are... I truly respect those who can build from
plans alone, I just know my limitations :-)
