Queenstown: Cessna crash
What a shame, suspect it's a 177 (Cardinal)...

Band A Lot, I was suspecting a faulty Thronomister, possibly a blocked nozzle on the Thronogun Mixulator? Not many Cardinals around, it's a pretty unknown issue, people should be educated on it and have their Thronomisters regularly serviced by a knowledgeable and patient Elf.

Ixixly, That was my first thought too, but look at the elevator position for that - it should be in the up position at 21-23 degrees from neutral. As it is an almost neutral position the Mixulator was not in effect at the time, that is why the temperature was key to isolate the problem to the RPM and magneto.
And as you know, the L/H wing low proves it was the R/H mag.
Surprised you missed that Ixixly, I warned you to watch that fatigue.

That's alright, I too was struggling with some of them, no doubt everyone [who did get it straight away] will be amused to know that, apropos of gerry111's post, for a couple of minutes I was puzzling over wtf a DH-82 had to do with this....
... perhaps I should just respond that, no, it was most likely VH-ROO
In the meantime some poor bloke no longer has his pride and joy, and some other poor bugger no doubt feels pretty bad about that

From the link.
Clearing frost from a high wing is a bit of a problem, also out of sight, and perhaps out of mind.
Another Queenstown-based pilot suggested the frosty conditions might have contributed...... crashed at the end of the runway about 8.50am
