![]() I remember some pictures of a carbon fibre pure glider that caught fire when it hit some high tension wires during an outlanding. The pilot had time to walk away (and was luckily able to do so), but couldn't extinguish the fire. Most of the fuselage and part of the wing burned up. The fire was caused by high tension electric sparks when the tail went trough the wire. -- stephanevdv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via OziPilots Online [ http://www.OziPilotsOnline.com.au ] - A website for Australian Pilots regardless of when, why, or what they fly - |
