on 7/31/10 Unfortunately John M.'s BeechCraft Bonanza met the earth suddenly during a re-maiden take-off. About 5 feet off the runway it started behaving badly and suddenly did an uncontrollable hard roll to the right and then tumbled to the ground...Fixable?...Maybe...

John and the rest of us were comtemplating what the heck caused the uncontrollable low level roll, flip and flop to the ground phenomenon!...wind gust, v-tail characteristics, low air speed...who knows!? Uploaded by Desmond on 08/02/2010 |
