btw, according to the accident report (you should be able to find it
somewhere
on www.tsb.gc.ca), the student didn't die, but did sustain serious
injuries,
since they spun into a lake.
And if you haven't read the accident report, there was a bunch of
stuff,
including a rudder return spring missing, that contributed to the
rudder
jamming hard over. They couldn't get the rudder to jam over when it was
just
a worn stop bolt, but they recommended an SB for the stop bolt anyhow.
It's well worth the read, rick
ps: And it was a C150, not C152.
