Hi Mike,The seat belt attachment pulled the cluster to the inside. The pilot (nonames) hit his head on the side of the dash, he survived, but had tohave eye surgery. I don't believe he has ever flow since. The Piet. wasnever rebuilt. He needed a new wing and repair to the fuselage. The windwas coming from the north , he took off and made a left in front of ahuge barn around 50 feet . The wind was abstucted by the barn whichcreated a downward shear. He said he had no controll what so ever. Hehad 30,000 hours in a 747. -----Original Message-----________________________________________________________________________________

... he took off and made a left infront of a huge barn around 50 feet....Could this have been avoided if he had continued his climbout and waitedto turn when he was closer to pattern altitude? Especially with a lowpowered aircraft, I would think that low altitude turns on takeoff mightbe a bit dangerous...-Carmen-________________________________________________________________________________

Irwin,I used car racing belts with a wide lap belt and two narrower, over the shoulderbelts that are permanently attached to the lap belt, which opens in the middleusing a large lever type buckle.I used this belt in off-roading and really like the larger width across my lap,though this stuff IS heavier than aircraft stuff.It's a little hard to snuggle into, but so what.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2006 07:05:51 -0600
