Subject: Pietenpol-List: Anyone Know The Story Behind This Crash?Hi Listers,Does anyone know the story behind this aircraft and the crash? Almostlooks like an RC model especially given the cameraman's ratherunemotional comment following the crash. Kind of looks like theelevator may have been hooked up backwards following a rebuild. http://media4.big-boys.com/content/oldplanecrash.wmvAny information on this video would be intersting.Matt-- Matt G.

Matt,Quit the footage. Looks like a turbine conversion to a Caribou that tookoff with the gust lock engaged.ChrisBraumeister und Inspektor der Flitzer und Flitzermotoren----- Original Message -----

The aircraft is a highly modified Caribou, converted to turbinepower and operated under the Experimental catagory of CAR 4b. It had flown theyear prior to the crash..The complete report can be found starting on page 6 of a PDF file at this website..._http://www.asasi.org/papers/2001/Four%20Unrela ... dents.pdf_ (http://www.asasi.org/papers/2001/Four%2 ... idents.pdf) ________________________________________________________________________________

That's a real video of the crash of the first prototype Turbo Caribou. Ithink it was Winnipeg, but I don't remember anymore. The control locks werenever removed before take-off. I didn't know them personally but they werefriends-of friends that died in that crash. the project was picked up laterand I was privileged to work on it. The STC to convert the Caribou toturbines is now held by Pen Turbo in the States. DECA Aviation in Torontowith some minor assistance form our company (Avionics Design Services)finished off the program.Bob-----Original Message-----
