RE: Pics
Hi Flyboy Dave
Any idea why it happened? I have had more than a few of those myself. Now I always have the elevator horn on the top side of the elevator so the motion for UP is PULL rather than PUSH. I also use only heavy duty clevises that have a positive lock, such as Sullivan or a heavy plastic DuBro that has a slide lock. I believe that slipping a short piece of fuel tubing over the nylon or plastic clevis that comes with every kit or ARF is false hope. Unfortunately many fliers believe that if the kit manufacturer supplies such a worthless clevis that it must be OK. If I cannot find a reason for one of my crashes I become a nervous wreck. Almost all are pilot. error.
