Runaway...My point was that a trainer with aerodynamic bits on the tail spins "flatter" than a fighter or other high perf aircraft. My understanding is it spins nose low but flatter than a high perf aircraft making a flatter impact more likely. This looks to have hit very flat and from the vertical. Sorry if that came off as a conclusion; it was more of an observation as to the reason the impact had the two top prop blades intact and very little forward motion evident at the site. It does not look like it was flown in control to impact was the main point I cluttered with the tail talk.
