Hahah I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to upset the 'precious' that visit these pages, voluntarily I might add:-)lolol

I don't accept the ATSB's findings but hey we plebs have zero input! I knew Max very well, he had a LOT of experience on the Beech (as I do) I believe he had a medical episode when the engine rolled back or failed or whatever caused the violent swing, the rudder trim deflection alone if at full deflection would not have caused this as a stand alone cause otherwise the would not have got certified!. We all plan for such an event but it would still scare the crap out of any normal pilot ! RIP Max, the good 'ole days are long gone sadly:-(
