Hi guys,
Two questions...
1. If a jet does a full pcm lockout snap roll at say, 150 mph[X(], how slow (in mph) do you guys/gals think the airplane will begin it's flutter down?.... 60 mph, 50mph, 40 mph??
2. If a jet was falling out of the sky at say, 20-30mph, and struck the earth at this same rate, do you guys think that the turbine, assiociated electronics and radio would
mostly survive?
I'm just playing around with ideas...
When I say
mostly, I mean not
completely destroyed!
, ie do you think the ecu/reciever/turbine/ maybe a servo or two would need minimal (Is $500 minimal?
) costs to get back in flying shape.
I'm sure the airframe would be toast, but I'd like to know your opinion on these numbers.....
Thanks, I got my pen and pad out!

well not saying i do it a lot
but i get some repairs here and then from crashes but must say that most of them have no critical damages.
the worst i always seen when it was on fire then mostly you can trow everything away.
normal damages i encounter are:
exhaust bend , starter damaged , compressor damaged
most of these repairs are somewhere around 500-600 usd
here is a fire example:
