Caeser Creek Soaring Club had a L-33 which was totaled due to a
crinkled boom. It happened when the pilot struck the tail boom during landing after a PIO. I saw the CCSC L-33 after this accident. The "crinkled" boom was a small percentage of the damage sustained from what must have been a very hard landing (more like a crash landing than a tail strike). The impact was so hard it buckled the fuselage and root ribs due to the resulting flex in the wings. This was an extremely hard impact that I doubt any glider could have survived damage free. Curt |
