- Folks have been asking me about the time I was let down by the Stinson 108. Well here is the forced landing when the engine quit on the way to a fly in. This happened a couple of years ago and the airplane was back in the air la month after this landing. There was no damage to the airplane or imjuries to the occupants and we ended up with about $12 worth the crop damage. Overall a good ending to what could have been a not good situation. The audio and video quaility is a little lower than our standard because this was only the second time I was running cameras in the plane. It was going to be the second "Flight Vlog" of the Great Michigan Bush Co. This was a setback to the who channel since my attention was turned to getting the plane back in the air. Anyway folks have wondered how the Stinson let me down and this is the story.
"You can hear the engine sound quit in the video ~3:10. The prop will continue to "windmill" to the ground, air pressure providing the energy to turn the engine. Only if it tosses a rod or something else violent happens will the prop will stop in the air. In this video you can see as soon as I hit the ground and slow the propeller stops as the airspeed no longer allows the windmilling of the engine."
