RE: Concorde Crash...
Hello Guys.
I was the supervisor on this project and all I can say is that we are really pissed. My friend Michael Dines from Copenhagen has spent a lot of time and money on this project and had been looking forward to flying his Concorde at the recent Jetmetting in Sønderborg/Denmark. The instructions stated a CG that obviously wasn't correct. Michael even spoke directly with mr. Michel af last weeks fair in Dortmund/Germany, where mr. Michel confirmed that the CG was correct between 80-120 mm ahead of the main gear. Michael set his CG at 90 mm. As you can see from the video, that thing was tail heavy as h e l l. Michael had no chance to rescue the plane from total disaster.
