Diamond 9

Post by ROB THOMASSON » Sat Jun 05, 2010 4:23 pm

I saw the diamond 9 at Stapleford coming down the runway on a trailer on Friday. The mains were retracted but the noseleg was half down. Looked to be an expensive event. Ayone got any details?

I got to talk to the pilot a couple of days back. The gear only retracted on 1 side and despite boucing it down the runway on 1 the other stayed up. In the end they stopped the engines on the approach and deadsticked it onto the grass. I gather the ground loop when the wing touched was quite exciting! So a nice piece of flying with a technical problem ;-)
