Proof that **** happens.
I saw him fly it in that configuration twice a few years back at Triple Tree in SC. The first time was great, the second time it folded a wing over the runway doing slow rolls and went in.
In this video it's pretty clear the outboard left engine was failing (at or near idle), and it just stalled and went in.
Mine's still tits up in the garage. Got to stop this camping **** and get my airplane fixed up so I
can crash it again.
