kaz3g Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Oh.. hope the poor fellow is ok. Unfortunately, glider canopies are usually lower to the ground than the top wire of a farm fence and some horrible accidents have occurred when pilots have landed short or too long. Ground loop, anything, but if you are in a low-slung aircraft don't go into that wire head on or you might just lose it. kaz
facthunter Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Exactly kaz3g...... Fred Hoineville, famous skywriter, and very experienced pilot, died in a powered glider at Goulbourne not clearing a fence on take-off.. Any glider type plane, Saphire/drifter etc ground loop it, rather than hit the fence, straight on. Nev
