I understand that there was a long thread on this subject some time
ago. Unfortunately I haven't been able to locate it. If someone could
send me a link that would be greatly appreciated.

In any case, I'm looking for information on real incidents/accidents
that have cause damage to the tail boom on L33s. I've heard lots of
suggestions of what "may" cause damage but few "real" examples.

Two theoretical scenarios that have been mentioned are ground loops
and hard, tail first landing. If you've had experience with either of
these I'm very interested in any information you can provide,
regardless of whether or not damage was sustain. If damage was
sustained, was the boom section repaired - I don't know if this is
even possible - or replaced? If so, how expensive was the repair?

Finally, I've heard it suggested that the L33 is susceptible to ground
loops. I'm not sure if this stems from the fear of possibly damaging
the tail or something inherent in the design?

Thanks in advance,
Dave Rolland
