We fix Comanches. Savvy doesn't have anyone who knows much about Comanches. I won't deal with them, it would be a waste of my time. If...

But I didn't comment on Crossfield's accident in the post you responded to. So you sarcasm is misdirected.

The supposition being what? That the V-tail somehow takes substantially less time to Vne compared to their conventional tail variant...

So! What is the relevance to this discussion? Any airplane can break someplace. Are you suggesting that the C-210 has a similar rate...

First slice of cheese : “I’m a subpar pilot” Second slice: “Maybe disorientation could do it I suppose” Third slice: “I have an...

Try Googling it.

Statistics prove that wrong. IIRC, from the Aviation Consumer expose on it, there were a couple of hundred V-tail break ups and less...

That lead, among other things, are found in an engine that runs leaded fuel, it not exactly a revelation, brought down the mountain by...

That is a misrepresentation. This SB has been around a lot longer than lead has been an issue. It is aimed at valve guide issues in...

Mike Smith recognized the real problem with the V-tail and first certified a stub spar that anchored the front of the root rib of the...

I don't like to see more then 435F in the climb and 400-420F in cruise. I ran a set of TIO-540-A2C engines in the Upper Midwest from...

Once they finally fixed the tail, the breakup of V-tails have been much rarer. This one does look like it did lose the LH ruddervator...

More likely they have bigger fish to fry given the moribund anti-trust enforcement under prior administrations.
