I understand that there was a long thread on this subject some time
ago. Unfortunately I haven't been able to locate it. If someone could send me a link that would be greatly appreciated. In any case, I'm looking for information on real incidents/accidents that have cause damage to the tail boom on L33s. I've heard lots of suggestions of what "may" cause damage but few "real" examples. Two theoretical scenarios that have been mentioned are ground loops and hard, tail first landing. If you've had experience with either of these I'm very interested in any information you can provide, regardless of whether or not damage was sustain. If damage was sustained, was the boom section repaired - I don't know if this is even possible - or replaced? If so, how expensive was the repair? Finally, I've heard it suggested that the L33 is susceptible to ground loops. I'm not sure if this stems from the fear of possibly damaging the tail or something inherent in the design? Thanks in advance, Dave Rolland |
