Don Goetz does it again...


>From Aero-News Network (www.aero-news.net):

"Over the weekend, the factory Lancair 360 MK II factory demonstrator had a
control problem, which according to Lancair factory test pilot Don Goetz
"incapacitated" the throttle and left N362L with little or no power on 
approach to
runway 22 in Redmond, Oregon.

The flight was being conducted by a Lancair factory instructor to acclimate a
new Lancair builder to the capabilities of his aircraft, and the near-dead 
stick
adventure resulted in the aircraft landing just short of the runway... gear 
up.
According to Goetz, "there's very little damage, a bit of scraped paint on the
belly, and no evidence of anything all that bad." Goetz indicated that he 
felt the
airplane could be returned to service very shortly, and seemed pleased that 
the
incident resulted in so little harm to the 8 year old demonstrator... and in 
no
harm whatsoever to either pilot."
