red750 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I copied the URL , then logged out and pasted it in the address bar. This took me to a 7 news page asking me to register or log in, but I clicked on the small "Not now"at the bottom, and it showed the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravity Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hope the guys okay. What a scary experience! Looks like an RV6 or 7A, never liked the training wheel on the front of an RV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nose wheel was still working when the aircraft was towed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poteroo Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Looks like an RV6 or 7A, never liked the training wheel on the front of an RV. The nosewheel is adequate for landings done onto the mains first, holding it off until you run out of elevator command. They should be taxied very carefully on rough ground. On soft ground you can have problems unless power is used with full flap extended to hold the nosewheel off while taxying. Generally speaking, pilots fly RV's too fast on approach and just don't bleed off the speed before plonking them on - which is really testing the front wheel! happy days, 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 WTF are those four idiots doing, standing underneath the aircraft as it's being lifted?? Hasn't anyone taught them, that you never get underneath any load suspended from any lifting equipment?! The aircraft may be relatively light - but they still stand a chance of debilitating injury should that sling slip, a hydraulic hose blow on the forklift, or the forklift overbalance. I have seen all three happen during lifting operations, and it was a shock to all involved. I've also seen a winch cable on a tilt tray snap, when a tilt tray man was winching a tractor crane up the tray! The look on his face was sheer horror, as the crane took off down the yard at a decent rate of knots! Fortunately, no-one was behind it (I'd already made sure I was standing to one side), and there was nothing in the way of the tractor crane, as it rolled to a stop, 25M away. You cannot trust any lifting equipment or securing method, no matter how professional it looks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
