Charlie's "Big Bertha", Tow Plane/Engine Test Bed. |
Those who saw it, said the wing exploded from the airplane. The fuse went in like a dart! |
|
He had already broke in one engine and this was a new one. He was going to use both on a big twin engine plane. |
That is a brand new Fiji, with 5 minutes running time, buried in the dirt. He had to work at it just to pull it out of the dirt. |
|
The throttle stuck open & loss of elevator lead to this crash, little Francis could do but point it to a safe area . |
Glancing impact saved sever damage to the airplane, he will make the repairs and it'll fly again. |
