As you can hear I seized something in my 503. Fast forward to 5:30 in the video and will see and hear what I heard. This was not the way I wanted to start my Sunday. I had a whopping 7 seconds from the time the prop stopped spinning to the point I made impact in the plowed flour bowl field. The engine started to sag and I looked for a place to ditch, as soon as the I lost power I pushed the stick, pulled in one notch of flap, and just before impact I pulled in the second notch of flap and that is what you see my left arm/hand doing. The impact broke the right main landing gear tube and cable, the steering wheel assembly, and wiped out the steering yoke. I will be doing a full autopsy on the airframe and engine the weekend of 6-19-21 and will be letting you all see the result of that.
I have the plane hanging in the hanger up high to get it out of the way of my second Hurricane that I will be selling.
I walked away from this without so much as a scratch or bruise. I know that will not always be the case and I Thank Christ for watching over me.
