facthunter Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Not easy to do if you believe the stories and also my experience with them. .It would have to bounce and fall on the nosewheel. NO nosewheel is built to take the weight of an aeroplane. Can't see much (else) wrong with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabiru7252 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Any idea on conditions? Gusty, lumpy? Foxbats are easy to land apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSCBD Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 If and I said if - the two guys in the white shirts were flying in the Foxbat, she would be seriously over MTOW. Smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Look closely. It's not a Foxbat. It is a Vixxen. It is stiff and snatchy on the elevator and easy to overcontrol in pitch. I know this because I was a member of that syndicate a few years ago. There is much history of this type of accident with Vixxens. This syndicate has previously owned Foxbats, the Foxbat is a much better aircraft for Pilots with limited experience. Bit of sympathy for the Pilot who's had a really bad day, and the Syndicate whose insurance will likely be unavailable or unffordable now 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackc Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Same thing happened to my flight school Vixxen at Coffs Harbour, it was hired out for a private flight and it suffered the same fate, was out of service for 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shafs64 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I was thinking of joining this syndicate spoke with the person who ran the syndicate and he mentioned the high cost of insurance so after this mishap they could have some issues.

onetrack Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Judging by the condition of those 3 blokes in white shirts, they haven't been involved in anything that even relates to exercise, in recent times. So I guess that means they're very senior desk pushers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
