It's too easy to judge Puchacz based on reports like 5 similar spinning
accidents. They were not all similar. The one that I read contained some
rather graphic description of the dead instructor's fingers bloodied from
trying to grasp the broken rudder cable.
They do have a maintenance kit
I am interested in the statement **all** of the white tape had split . I
had the dubious pleasure :) to be shown the flick roll by Shane McCafrey
who's ability as well as opinions on maters related to gliding I respect. I
do not recall huge g-forces during the maneuver at all. I am pretty sure

There's an old saying along the lines of 'if it looks good it will fly well'
(does anybody remember the correct saying?).
Think about that and a Puchacz.
Give me a horse-drawn Zeppelin any day, or a Blanik, they both beat the Puch in
the beauty stakes and I can feel a lot more relaxed when
They are still around and seen.

A flick roll executed well can generate quite a high but instantaneous G
loading. Executed poorly it can put a considerable amount of stress on an
airframe. The higher the entry speed the greater the amount of G and
resulting stress on the airframe. I think that is what Morgan was referring
to,
That's great! I want one.

If you do the same thing on an Airbus, the vertical tail snaps off
completely.
Is this just one of those Airbus bashing stories or has someone proved
it ? :-)

Without any reald world knowledge on my part, I thought the flight software
would not allow you to do it anyway (based on what I read)

If memory serves it was an American Airlines A300-600 that lost the tail fin
after inappropriate (read large sudden) rudder inputs during a wake
turbulence encounter on departure from JFK in 2001. Only the A320 and later
models have fly-by-wire and hence protection from overstressing the
