One down at Narrogin

Glad the pilot wasn't too badly (I trust) hurt, but may I ask, does anyone know the history of this particular aeroplane, who built it and when?

Cheers,

This will give you the previous VH rego

This will give you a history of accidents including many that have stalled, it is not really correct to say that they cannot stall because they can it seems. I haven't counted one by one but it looks like at least 50% of the reported accidents are fatality's ?

Bloody spellcheck...in #1 I wrote ‘survived’. Which later posts confirm that he did.
Pleased to see there wasn’t a fire!
Trapped inside with the canopy having the aircraft weight on it....not a good place to be.

Cessnas for me.

Not everyone wants to fly a 40 year old plane, which, if a car would be a vintage car.

I'll get my hat and ... coat!

youngmic; You may know/remember of whom I post. How are ya btw? Been langtaim since cruising around the Almond trees!

G'day Pinky,

I think he sold the long a few years back as he bought a RV.

All good this end and trust the same yours and yes a few years since putting worry into crows. Somewhat of a soft spot in my memories for that bold little overpowered ultralight. Not sure if that is because it could beat right from the drop a Yamaha TT600 in a standing start drag race or if it was the forward firing remotely triggered 12 gauge mounted in the nose pod with heads up sights and a range finder . Either way it was a true joy to throw around.

Capn Bloggs ...don’t bank on it. Years ago in the UK I had a look at a Cessna 182 that had overturned. Didn’t seem too dinged up apart from being upside down. Windscreen was cracked, cockpit looked all ok...but
The pilot was killed. Mmmm.

Cessna’s have a good habit of squashing you against the yoke when you nose in. I saw it myself once at Latrobe Valley, subject of the article titled “the not so merry go-around.”
