planedriver Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Looks to me like it was probably an afterburner problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Yes, that engine material, that is largely of Chinese origin today, is well known for not being able to meet the rigorous temperature requirements of high speed flight. They always fail to meet the specifications - largely due to cost-cutting, I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Koreelah Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I believe Sabco stopped making these aircraft several years ago. If you can find one, it’s an import. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Yes, I believe Sabco came under intense scrutiny after a number of unexplained crashes of this model. Sabco protested that the model was being used outside its design parameters, and therefore they could not be held liable. CASA still have an ongoing investigation into the crashes, and the investigation should be formally completed around 31 Oct 2029. The delay is being caused by the need to question the head of a group originally based in Salem, that is believed to be the main user of the model. The group now appears to be global, thus complicating the questioning process. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 CASA's have CEOs that bring in a new broom when a switch is made. A few of their flight tests included a gear up landing. Nev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrendAn Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 according to the manufacturer there is no problem, apparently if they are driven hard and maintained to sabco standards they are fine. poor maintenance and slow climb out will cause a lean condition overheating the rear straw past its specified limits. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendAn Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) my mother in law also wears a jet pack in case of broom failure. although a dragon on a broom looks a bit odd anyway even without jet pack.

Yenn Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 That flying machine is way off the original design. Configuration is elongated rather than circular and it will obviously have a problem with offset thrust lines even if there is no fire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferris Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 ATSB have conducted a long, and exhaustive investigation, finally getting a handle on the problem. The owner had been overloading for years, and one final tight manoeuvre was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Due to political interference the matter has been swept under the carpet. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
