Hello all types of groundloopers!
There are also known few serial-ground-loopers - they are then the
third-type-tailwheel-pilots.
I still patiently wait my first happen with my beloved Europa.
Im still very proud of my original Airmaster CS-prop with original Warp
Drive blades.
Maybe that happens tomorrow - experience (so far 854 mostly happy
monowheel landings) helps, but it is definetely not a quarantee.
Experienced pilots tends to stress their limits, and then, the devil is
lurking just around the corner...errr...the loop.
I have dicked my nose blood several times, mostly when landing to Danish
islands like Endealave.
However,
I have that experience with an other tailwheeled ac - its tailwheel
went suddenly broken during the take-off, and a superfast 180 loop
followed.
Its starboard side wing collapsed (a high-wing-type), fuel make me wet
(a wing tank) and a gear collapsed also - in a split second - it was a
super-fast-action.
I did not cut the electrics because of the spark risk, and it was
difficult to get out - I got some help by airports fire-men.
Wheather was then totally calm, an exellent late summer evening. It was
a total surprise then.
Im so sad I havent then an action camera on.
Im also happy that my daughter was not omboard - I had invited her to
join to a little evening flight, but she happily said "no father - so
boring...".
Safe flights,
- Raimo
