For those of you who may have wondered why all my
activity on brakes after my June Brake line rupture and fire. I finally
managed to find the SW to capture a frame from the video my nephew took of the
incident.
Here is a shot of the fireball which when fully expanded
rose above the wing as I depressed my right brake pedal and shortly before I
went off into the ditch. Other two photos shows the smoking remains in
the ditch - in one you can see the bright green antifreeze fluid my nephew
pour on the flaming wheel pant which brought us sufficient time to get a fire
extinguisher and put the fire out.
I had the time used the start to get the prop
horizontal before going into the ditch, but couldn't help but grab it and pull
it through a few times afterwards just to convince myself it was still
in one piece {:>).
