@trnddc06: "JGalban" wrote ... A Mooney mechanic friend took a look at the pics and he figures that it was a combination of the mass of the engine, plus the sturdy steel cage in the Mooney. Mooney has a steel cage? Well, not a steel cage, but the forward half of the fuselage is a steel tube structure, just like a cub. Bertie |

"Morgans" wrote in message ... "Stealth Pilot" wrote amazes me that there are no prop strike marks on the truck. considering that it was almost airborne. curiouser and curiouser. Considering that a run-of-the-mil prop is advancing close to 6 feet per revolution, and that the plane was nearly at take-off speed, that would give a 3 foot advance before one of the two blades would hit anything. From that wretched wreck, it would be hard to see if the prop hit one time, or even two, and after that, there probably wouldn't be any prop left to hit anything, if you know what I mean! -- Jim in NC Yeah, but you are actually using math and logic. |

"Bertie the Bunyip" wrote in message ... Ah, OK. i hadn't expected the engine to have been part of the accident, really. Even then, that's an amazing amount of damage. It's kind of the equivelant of a beercan hitting a dumpster except for the engine. Amazing the occupants of the Mooney weren't killed. Bertie Duh, a front engine aircraft hit a vehicle on take off run, and you don't think the engine is going to be part of the accident. |

Awww, miss your naptime wannabe boi? Bertie No, sounds like you did, dumb ass. You think a Mooney can hit a vehicle at take off speed, and do nothing but superficial damage. Priceless. |
