![]() U=BFytkownik Bill Daniels w wiadomooci do grup = dyskusyjnych ... =20 It does make one wonder. I seem to recall something on r.a.s. to the = effect that an inspection of a Puch in the USA turned up a metal plate that = was adrift somewhere in the rudder control curcuit. This loose plate, it = was said, could prevent the rudder from moving back from the fully = deflected position. I seem to recall that it was suspected that some of the = spin-in accidents might be due to this. One day I was told about a Puchacz accident at Bielsko in southern = Poland, many years ago. The trim handle (a small green ball made of = fabric) went loose and disappeared. The student replaced it with another = one, but didn't check where's the one which got lost, and then took off = for a spin training... The ball has been left inside, and it managed to get into controls, and = in the moment they were in spin and tried to move stick forward to get = out of the spin, it locked itself preventing the stick from moving = forward. The student with instructor kept on pushing the stick, and = finally hit the ground killing themselves. Finally it became clear that if they had moved stick back for a second, = they could survive, because thic could loosen the ball... I just wonder how the student stupid had to be to not check the glider = throughly after noticing that the handle has gone.
