Shit happens

Post by Nick »

This just came across on google alert, MT-7-235 crash, minor injuries, what some call a good landing, glad no one was hurt

Shows how well built the Maule airframe is.

Looking at the prop blades I'm thinking the motor may still have been turning?

Think the blades are bent due to the plane flipping over on the blades. No significant signs of the blades digging in the dirt. Betcha the engine was stopped at touchdown.
