Previous Spar Damage
|
Hello All:
If the plane owned by James Postma that suffered the broken spar happened to be that plane built by Mr. Follmer, then we might have a suspect cause for a pre-existing condition. You can find an interesting report at _http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20001212X21774&key=1_ (http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20001212X21774&key=1) that states the following: "NTSB Identification: LAX00LA301 . The docket is stored in the Docket Management System (DMS). 14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation Accident occurred Tuesday, August 15, 2000 in CORONA, CA Probable Cause Approval Date: 6/25/2003 Aircraft: FOLLMER Q200, registration: N8427 Injuries: 1 Minor. The amateur-built airplane collided with ground obstructions during a forced landing on an interstate highway following the in-flight separation of a portion of one propeller blade. An FAA airworthiness inspector examined the airplane and interviewed the pilot. The pilot reported that the airplane was in cruise flight when it suddenly began to shake violently. The pilot believed he had lost part of the wooden propeller and turned to return to the departure airport. The shaking through the airframe became intense and the pilot was unsure of the continued integrity of the airframe. He decided to land on a major interstate highway beneath the airplane. During the landing rollout, the airplane was quickly catching up to automobiles on the road ahead and the pilot intentionally steered the airplane to the right shoulder to avoid a collision with the vehicles. The right wing contacted a light pole and slued the airplane nose first into another pole. The second collision with the pole shattered the propeller into small splinters. The airplane continued down an embankment and collided with additional brush. The FAA inspector searched the area and was able to identify one propeller blade tip in the propeller fragments scattered over the site. The second tip could not be located. According to the pilot, the aircraft owner built the airplane prior to 1990 and obtained an initial airworthiness and registration certificate, then placed the airplane into storage. The airplane did not fly from 1990 until weeks before the accident. The pilot was in the process of flying the initial 40 operating hours for an unrestricted experimental airworthiness certificate and had flown the airplane about 11 hours. The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows: The failure and separation of one wooden propeller blade for undetermined reasons. " Respectfully, Phil Lankford N870BM (http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief2.asp?ev_id=20001212X21774&ntsbno=LAX00LA301&akey=1) |

James Postma:
Did you happen to mention anything about this aircraft having a previous forced landing on August, 15, 2000? Was the incident you wrote about the same aircraft N8427? Jim and John have been at each other's throats for a while now. Do you suppose that the August 2000 incident might have in some way been connected with your more recent broken spar incident? Respectfully, Phil Lankford N870BM |

Hello Jim:
I just want everyone to know that if you (or the previous owner) drive your airplane down a busy freeway and happen to hit a light pole and then years later happen to notice the right spar cracking off, it would be nice to make mention of the prior event when alerting the public of the more recent event.

Dave Dugas
Phil,
Your letter sheds new light on this spar subject. I've been reading these posts about the possibility of having a defective spar, and wondering what to do. I always check the spar carefully during my annual inspection and a couple of times during the year. I've never seen any sign of a problem. I have hundreds of landings, including 2 ground loops and a few landings that could have been ground loops. My airport has huge cracks in the taxiways, and during the first 150 hours, the runway had bigger cracks than the taxiways. I broke 2 tailsprings during this time. Since then the runways have been repaved. My Q2 has been flying since 2000, but has been on the gear since about 1985. I have confidence that the LS1 canard on my Q2 is airworthy, but from this point forward I will inspect it with a more critical eye. The incident with Mr. Follmer could very well be a significant factor in the failure of James Postma's Q2. By other LS1 owners reading this report, it stresses the importance of any degree of damage to a composite structure, and the importance of damage history to non-builders of the Qs they have purchased. James reported his broken spar to inform the group to be on the alert for similar weaknesses. I hope that the responses to his report didn't discourage builders or owners of Qs from the enjoyment of flying a great, fun airplane.

Relax Phil, John and I are still good friends! We're were just having
a lively debate at each others expense both on and offline. We both want to help solve the puzzle and will. The truth shall set you free my friend! I knew with a little continued jabbing some one (not unlike yourself) would put two and two together. Now we can move on with the discovery phase. James and I talked about this a few weeks back. In fact I believe Jeff Rutledge knew of this problem when he looked at that plane before he bought Al Kittlesons.

FYI, think its the same one?
I am sad to say that Frank Follmer passed on about Sept 26 after a battle with cancer. I would like to make a brief mention of his life and his contribution to the Q community. Very few builders knew of Frank because he was not a computer guy, not a pilot, did not attend any flyins, and his airplanes never left Chino. The reason I know of him is that he had a hanger behind mine at Chino for 5 years. He was my mentor and kept me in the game. Frank was from St. Louis. I don't think he had any formal engineering training. At first he did an auto body and paint shop. Then he went into designing and building box factories. His father was in that business. When he retired, he moved to Villa Park, California and discovered the Q2 and decided to build one. He took some pilot lessons, but his eyesight could not pass the medical, and he gave that up. He was a master builder. He met with Gene Sheehan and recommended changes and improvements to the airplane. This is when QAC and Revmaster were at Chino. At one time the Q operation took up almost all the commercial space at Chino. Frank was very meticulous about his work. His innovations include: the full height rudder - three were built the sliding forward canopy the raised canopy - 2 inches at the rear bullet nosed and pressure recovery wheel pants integral position lights in the wing tips (left, right, rear and strobes in one streamlined unit) Frank built two airplanes, a Q2 and a Q200. I now own them both, the Q200 with Damian. The Q200 was crashed due to a separated prop and we are rebuilding it. James Postma Q2 Revmaster N145EX Q200 N8427 Steilacoom, Washington (253) 584-1182 9:00 to 8:00 PDT May your header tank be always full and your wings right side up.

Damian,
What is the N number of the plane you are now attempting to repair the spar on? Was it ever reregistered as a different N number? If so, maybe we can research that number for prior events. I understood from James Postmas' e-mail Frank Folmer only built two Q's; a Q2 and a Q200. James took the Q2 north several months ago. I was under the impression from the NTSB report that N8427 had the bird strike and landing accident. If not what happened to N8427? James said he owned the only two planes Frank built. This is really important in determining what happened. Boy am I confused now?

Hi Jim,
I just spoke to James a few days ago. James and Damian can shed light on this, but James told me he owns 3 Q's consisting of two Q2's and one Q200 co-owned with Damian. The Q2 you mentioned that he flew north last November is the one I looked at for a potential buyer and it's tail number is Q2 Revmaster N145EX, GU canard. The broken spar Q2 has a different N-number which I don't know and has the LS1 canard. The Q200 that is being rebuilt by Damian and James is Q200 N8427. This is not the broken spar bird, but I believe is the one that Frank had the Freeway incident with. Hope that this is clear as mud now :) Regards Rene Q2 C-FBWV PS, I heard rumor that you might be attending Arlington this year. Look froward to seeing you there if true.

Jim , James took his Q2 revmaster up north a non Fullmer plane with a Gu canard ( by the way that one has problems as well ) Then he bought Fullmer's Q2 w/ an LS1 but a rev/ volks engine the N # I cannot remember.Then James and I went to Arizona and got N8427 Q200 that was in the process of being repaired from the bird strike, forced landing and subsequent collision with a utility pole.( which sheared off canard on left side) That is the one I am working on.

The broken spar Q2 has a different N-number which I don't know and has the LS1 canard. The Q200 that is being rebuilt by Damian and James is Q200 N8427. This is not the broken spar bird, but I believe is the one that Frank had the Freeway incident with. Hope that this is clear as mud now :) froward to seeing you there if true.
