RE: Taylorcraft crash
CRASH UPDATE, RESPONSE FROM HORIZON HOBBY,,,,,,,, Teck support called me yesterday and we discussed the problem. I told him just what happened in about the 7 flight total time. Took of entered down wind and at 200 feet or so plane in level cruse did a slight dip and I chocked it off as wind pocket...........Then it went wild as something let loose.it turned to me and had slight nose low attitude. i concentrated on keeping wings level and it was back and forth throttle was about half and approching me. at about 100 feet in front of me.Plane was uncontrollable at this point and going from right to left as i tryed to keep it level....... It veared right and left and crashed. I cut power because i knew it was going in. After paying $1280 dollars for it and $135.00 for packing to send it back,, the out come was Horizon hobby will give me a new one for $ 650.00 off the new cost of $1280.00. I wish they would of replaced it free as I did nothing wrong and I still feel something failed.I honestly believe the wing walked away from the fusalage allowing the rear pin or dowl to move away from fusalage there fore allowing wing to change angle of attack. the nylon bolt was not a good fit in wing nut so this time around I will consider going to home depo and changing to a better or less wobbly fit bolt if necessary.I will also consider a pin in the rear dowl so the wing can not walk away from the fusalage.Who ever said I was a ass for paying $135.00 for packing the junk remains and sending it back to horizon hobby as directed you can go eat your words .I do Thank Horizon Hobby for meeting me half way even thow i wished I got a replacement free. I want to say that Horizon Is a Great company as I already knew and hope my fellow model flyers buy from them......Anyone with the new taylorcraft watch those nylon bolts and consider changing them or maybe even going to a steelbolt???????? I will check to see if the wing strut will stop the wing from moving out away from the fusalage if the wing bolt fails???????? The teck said it would stop wing walk but i can not conform that. Be carefull check your bird and GOOD LUCK Watch those tail supports from the horizontal stab to the top of the vertical fin as they broke twice before i ever flew from vibration as i was breaking motor in on deck ...They broke at the top right where the bend is. I took mine off and replaced with aviation wire Good luck to all EDDIE when all fails push stick forward and go have a beer or 3.

RE: Taylorcraft crash
In response to WILLING10post.I have tryed sitting on my hands and trying to shut up but I get furious when people assume things that were not true.You mentioned that I should of called Horizon when i noticed the threads were not grabing much in the wing bold.. Well I did just that but it was after the crash when I did inspection of wing bolt threaded area that was small in my eyes.As previously mentioned when I buy something I dont figure I have to tear it apart to check engineers designs. PLEASE dont put words in my mouth that I didnt say, it sounds like I made that discovery before I flew the plane and flew it anyway. That is NOT true, as i noticed it after it crashed when I was searching for why the wing wobbled.Also I might add that the tail support from the horozontal tail to the vertical fin broke twice at the top where it bends .I notified them and they sent me new supports.This happened twice while i was breaking engine in on table.I gave up and used aviation safety wire. Someone said earlier reading these posts is like following chinese directions and I agree.The problem is its the way the human brain works or doesnt work.....People just get there first thought to what happened and dont dig or think deeper.So slow down and think and ask first ... And by the way as I have mentioned hangar 9 service is just great and I only deal with them as i previously mentioned

RE: Taylorcraft crash
by saying redundancy I was refering to the amount of thread in the bolt. I was hoping in the design there would be much more thread to catch the wing bolt. I would of like to see like 1/2 inch or more to catch that threaded bolt . If I saw that amount in the wing bolt this would of never happened. Thank You you hit the nail on the head , this is my argument and the weak point. And this is soely the week ling and why I am holding them responsible because there was so little thread in the wing nut allowing tremendous pressure on that soft nylon bolt. yippie I oh you hit the nail on the head and you are pointing at my argument

RE: Taylorcraft crash
here we go. Who said i knew the bolt was wobbly when I took off? I only found out it was wobbly after the crash when i inspected the bolts in both wings. My conclusion was gee why arent these bolts snugger fit? than i inspected how much area there was in wing nut to catch the bolt. And to my suprise it was very little. and when did I say I need more than 1 bolt in each wingTAZ?

RE: Taylorcraft crash
yeah bought in sept so what waited 1 year to get in local club that opened field in april this year and after that had to get checked out before I could fly. That has no factor here of when i bought the plane. I only had plane to field 3 times just enough for threads to wear out. and yes 4 or 5 threads in wing nut.why you really think thats enought ? come on what happened to redundancy..I been a pilot of full scale for 40 years and have owned my own FULL SCALE plane since i was 20 and a business owner for over 32years. Im not some kind of a dummie here now

RE: Taylorcraft crash
YEAH guy I put a wrecked plane in a box and paid $135.000 to have it wrapped what would you you do wise guy go cry in a corner or not man up to there mistakeI did as I was directed to do just for the record. And I didnt know the bolt was grabbing on only 5 threads untill I inspected it after the crash. Everybody thinks they know everything but guess what you only think you do.Lets see who the smart guy is in the end

RE: Taylorcraft crash
$135.00 was for packing of 2 boxes .. Seems high doesnt it? Horizon paid the shipping of 2 boxes at $30.00per box =$60.00 and I paid foe 2 boxes they wraped it at $65.00 for first box and $60.00 for second box plus tax was $135.79 just for the packing. So $135.79 plus $60.00for shipping is total of $195.79. Dam whats this world coming To

RE: Taylorcraft crash
OK ITS MAILED they paid shipping and it took 2 boxes to ship cost me $135.000 Dam lets see what happens I know dam sure its a design flaw you dont have to be a rocket scientist if you look at the flimsy bolt and 4 threads that catch it in wing bolt.Granted it will take couple flights 5 or 6 for the threads to warp..THAn it fails, trouble happens.ONLY they know if this 2 piece wing in the new 26cc model is a new design from the earlier 20cc or 23cc model. Older model was 1 piece wing. I will let you all know what happened EDDIE
