Our local freight pilot informed me about this incident a few hours ago. He makes a stop in Chico and was told that pilot and pax were from Chico. |

Looks like 9 tail
The one still photo looks like the horizontal stabilizer is constant chord. Could just be the angle of the photo too.
Sad day for sure!!!

FAA registration lists it as an RV-6. Also note that the rudder has no counterbalance.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what if the significance of no counerbalance - yes, I know that there is supposed to be one (I have built a rudder) but how might this have been an issue? |

It wasn't. Mel was simply pointing out that the only side by side RVs with no counterbalance were the early -6's.

What I find interesting about the photos is that neither the right nor left HS shows signs of impact, yet the left HS is clearly seperated at the fwd spar. Im scratching my head as to how this could occur.
