"Jim Macklin" wrote: Grass can be long, short and even cut grass is a possible problem since it can be trapped inside of wheel pants. Watched a friend's RV-6 head for the corn and go tail up after the left wheel pant filled with cut grass and grab the wheel. Be very carefull if you have tight fitting wheel pants and operate of a freshly cut grass strip where the grass was long before cutting. The incident required a year to rebuild the aircraft. New wood prop, engine teardown and rebuild, rebuild the lower cowl, new wheel pant. |
