From speaking to people in the know, it seems that flying beyond Vne and getting into severe POI was the cause. The rotor was seen to have chopped off the rudder (again from what I understand). It was an ugly scene.

The RAF does not have an H-stab because that would be "copying" other gyros without "deep insight as to how and why things work the way they do"? Wow. What "deep insight" exists either in RAF Canada or RAFSA Upington? To my knowledge, there's not a single engineer between the two locations.saraf wrote:Most gyros in general today is just a copy of someone else's aircraft. The RAF was designed as a powered aircraft and did not follow the line of all the copies of the Bensen. That is why it has a patented mast design, a patented C OF G, and a patented Rotor Stabilator. This is why RAF also has industrial designs on the shape of the cabin. Because RAF is not a copy of the basic gyros of the 1950's they are free with new technology to change the RAF for the better and that is why almost every other gyro tries to sell the idea that all must be the same or they are dangerous. This is what happens when you copy, then you don't have a deep insight as to how and why things work the way they do. And if you don't know humans become fearful of change and anything different than what we are use to or have is no good.
