BTW what happened to the broken shock thread yesterday? https://www.supercub.org/forum/showthread.php?56873-Oh-it-Structural-Failure&goto=newpost
If a ground Loop is not involved and it is strictly a broken part, I would think it would go to the direction of the broken part because of the drag on the runway
" I decided I was wasting my time and hung up. I believe she had her mind made up and was looking for someone to agree with her assessment, I do not."
Web, I couldn't find that photo without the wording. The wording helps those who have likely never broken in their boots :lol:At times, it can simply be a matter of effective use of time and energy. If some one needs/wants information, I try to help out. If someone needs/wants corroboration of an idea already formed, I've learned to be VERY cautious. I have a finite amount of time in a day. Why would I waste that time?
But, just as an observation, I've had many, many more 'difficult' conversations when I was working on cars than I've had while working on aircraft. I like to think it's because of the customer base but acknowledge that it may be in part, due to my increasing lack of patience.

P.S. Hey Doc. I grew up on a dairy farm. You could have posted that pic with no wording and I'd know what it meant, lol.
It seems like when the gear fails as a result of a ground loop you get a lot more damage - prop strike, bent spars, etc.
.....and wanted my opinion. She argued with me about my opinion and then in a phone conversation when I tried to explain the pictured failure she kept interupting me and I decided I was wasting my time and hung up. I believe she had her mind made up and was looking for someone to agree with her assessment..
I think this is kind of like discussions on which direction the toilet vortex rotates when in the Southern Hemisphere? Absent of that theory, I would say the aircraft overcompensated for Bill's political leanings.
