Windrose Crash
About two years ago I received a lot of flack from many on this newsletter
for my warning of the dangers in the Windrose motorglider by Maupin. Many quoted the seemingly good flight characteristics of the Windrose from South Africa built by "Mush". Recently I received an email that that glider has also crashed in a spin accident about two years ago. No one reported it! I was obviously the last to know.... but it certainly seems to support my assertion that this glider has not been thoroughly tested and by the deaths and accidents seems to point to a dangerous design. I have also noticed that statistically, Gliders that spin have the most fatalities, this may prove to be a good topic to discuss. http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/index-e.html Is there anyone out there to give more light to this idea? -mat -- Marske Flying Wings http://www.continuo.com/marske |
