... Sorry Abid, but is this a DIFFERENT Apollo North American? I'm not really familiar with the weight shift models so maybe there's another? Maybe this Apolla...
The aircraft was assembled out of a kit by Apollo North America (not Apollo Aircraft, Inc.) and registered during UL transition period. We listed builder as...
Oh I see. No its -NOT- our design. We built someone elses kit like users of Zenith kits build a CH601 out of a kit and list themselves as builders on...
Actually, the Zodiacs that we have seen breaking up have been in some severe weather conditions and/or being operated by low-time pilots. But, like you said...
Sorry to keep asking this Abid, but now you're saying that "We listed builder as Apollo North American" Who is "WE"? Glad to hear that he DID get training, I...
WE = Our trike school, me involved in it as well. And its Apollo North America (not American, btw). Apollo Aircraft, Inc. is the manufacturer of trikes and...
Yes he did know better. As to why he went into negative G's is a matter of pure speculation really. Here are some of the most popular speculations around here...
Oh and in the lawsuit the estate's lawyers in fact tried to state that presence of dual controls most likely contributed to the fatal accident and we were...
I would really like to know where everyone is getting their Rotax service work done. There are very few certificated Rotax mechanics in TX. It would seem, at...
OK Abid, you have put forth a whole long list of possible causes in your response(s) . I can see where other peoples' wild speculations and un-informed...
WHO: The Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum (PWAM) and Pueblo Historical Aircraft Society (PHAS) WHAT: present an Open Cockpit Day with the F9F "Cougar" US Navy...
"I can see where other peoples' wild speculations and un-informed explanations to what happened..." OK Rick, You have had your fun and made your point. Lets...
Really Mike? and I thought as a FAA WSC examiner you would have more knowledge than that :). So the Tundra trike (the accident aircraft) in your opinion was a...
What have you been talking about Rick. This is what I have been talking about and was one of the links off the Zenith's SD. If you are accepting this is...
I knew and witnessed a fatal crash from a guy back in the 80's who flew an Eagle XL ultralight in Alaska. This aircraft has a canard out front. The engine's...
... Nice twisting. I did not say Apollo North America *designed* it. I said they were the manufacturer, (as per FAA registration paperwork). You apparently...
Read the NTSB report carefully Mike. The aircraft tubing broke in -high negative G's-. They took the tubing and cables to labs. Here is a question for you...
Just a reminder about this application. It is great for sure. If you haven't tried it yet give it a whirl. You do not have to put your address in there, unless...
... It's even possible -that- breakage occurred when hitting the ground. (hitting the ground causes high negative gees on wing spars) (but this is not the...
We clearly have never made that trike model. I gave you links where it clearly shows Krucker Manufacturing Canada made the Tundra and Cygnet trikes. Our school...
I'm interested in finding out how many here have done the inspection for trapped air in the valve tappets, as described in SI-912-018/SI-914-020, and shown in...
That's not an "inspection". That's a procedure you have to perform before running the engine for the first time or if you disconnect oil circuit lines without...
