Taildragger, minding it's own business when, out of nowhere !!
 
Yes indeed.. the RV6 was sitting there, minding it's own business.. when all of the sudden, it got sideswiped.

I'm sure there may be a few that will imply pilot technique played a part in it.
All I know is that the accident desciption was "Left side of aircraft was run over by a passenger vehicle.".. Maybe a pilot was driving the passenger vehicle and failed to perform a 360 to check for any traffic" :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'd love to hear the story behind this one.
(ntsb search came back zip)

Have a great day..

Looks like someone could get a good deal on a repairable RV6. That's the way it looks from the pictures anyway.

Bidding closes July 6.

Looks like he only pulled +3/-1 Gs in the collision. Not too bad...

Probably run over by a -6A flipping over on landing. :cool:

You just couldn't let it die could you? :p

Well, you know what they say about Floridians driving and voting habits....

Hey, we could start a new thread....
 
Nosewheel packing tipup -A model flips over while running LOP. :eek:

This thread would quickly collect the most number of posts ever. :p

Yeah... but was it primed? ;)

Brainstorm: Doug should setup another section of the forum for stuff like this. Then, everytime someone purchases a product (primer, avionics master switch, etc...) because of a post, the poster gets a discount from the supplier.

The VAF section would be called "Neverending Rebates".

*rimshot* :D

:::looking around at pile of papers on desk::: There must be some work around here for me to do....

I notice that the hulk's location is "Quality Aircraft".

Some poor buyer's going to need a rudder wedge for yaw trim.
