Another stall spin
Jim was a bit above the sight line of the trees bordering the airport and I would estimate maybe 3/4 of a mile away. Based on this, I would estimate his altitude as being on the order of 300 feet or so. That the glider rotated only a portion of a turn before impact would support this estimate.
snip UH Thanks UH, That is the information that 99% of us were missing from this accident. Would be nice to have some flight recorder evidence to confirm it if available, but understand it might not be available. Would also be nice to have similar information about the other accidents. Brian
