Uh.......what?

I am unaware of any reference to a stripped servo etc...

I am not, repeat NOT discounting what is "plain to see in the vid". This aint my first frigging rodeo, dude.

In fact, the vid is the primary reference for my opinion, as previously expressed, that the airplane did not spin or snap. Simply put, the thing was in a spiral (the flightpath one sees in a blown spap or spin where the inside wing doesn't stall) , which is completely different. Both wings have to make lift for it to spiral and fly a corkscrew/barrel flightpath like that. Both wings. Not one. Ergo, no stall, spin, snap etc. ***(see below)

Oh, and lets please not forget that it is you , Chad, would like to "discount" the frames which plainly show one or both flaps in the up position, as interpreted by several observers here.

What is "comical" [:@]is that you attack the email source "based on nothing more than what somebody wrote" even as you yourself are more than willing to forward info based on "nothing more than what somebody said".

Apparently, if someone does not share your opinion of what is and is not presented in the vid or the wreckage post-mortem then they are blind. Or stupid. Or lying. Or all three. Sources that contradict your views are "full of crap" while those which support your opinion are deemed reliable.

That is not comical at all. It's beneath your usually gentlemanly demeanor exhibited in these forums, and it's just sad.

Yes, I took info forwarded to me in the email, which was written to me on behalf of the pilot/owner of the crashed viper, on faith.

I had no reason not to. Neither do you.




**** answer these questions:
1) around which axis does a snap/spin rotate?
2) is the subject viper rotating around that axis?
3) if not, why not?
