Speaking of crash and goes, Max, the (ex) Concorde pilot, put
his prize-winning Luscombe down hard yesterday on the strip
in a crosswind while I was there. Broke the tailwheel off and
damaged the rudder and elevators. :-(


Paul,

A Luscombe Pilot Rule Of Thumb: NEVER, EVER let heavy iron types near a
Luscombe. They always break them, and they are such docile airplanes to fly
and land! Probably an over-controlling problem
