Country: | Great Les. Some of those I had seen before, but not in a compilation form. The F-100 crash was supposedly caused by mis-rigging the ailerons backward. Information that I have from an SEA pilot indicated that this infamous maintenance F-up resulted in design changes of the port and starboard rigging to be different lengths so that this accident cause would be minimized in the future.
Flyboy might have further information, but my understanding was that this became common design requirements for all future aircraft procurements.

Country: | My Dad always told me there were two kinds of pilots: those who have bent a bird, and those who are going to. He was old school, to be sure. And pretty much correct. Luckily most are minor compared to these videos! | |

Country: | The P-47 must have brought tears to the owners eyes. Makes me think of the 8ft wingspan B-52 RC model video. Can't imagine how much time goes into something like that.
