A great man once said, "REKLAW is not a place for pudknockers of low ability!" At 16:15 the pilot was either trying to fly the tail, or more likely running up the engine head down. Either way, the stick was forward until the prop hit the ground. It is extremely rare to nearly impossible to have both, independent brake systems lock up at the same time. Notice the airplane is still rolling when the prop hits the ground.
I agree with you, for the most part, look, I have been an A&P for over 40 years and the only time I have ever seen both brakes locked up is when an aircraft owner pressurized his brakes while adding brake fluid from below using a pressure vessel. I do know this, when the dust settled after this accident, both brakes were holding tight and the smell of burning brakes was in the air. The brake lines were opened to relieve the pressure so they could move the aircraft out of the taxi-way. I am not sure if this aircraft had parking brakes but I suspect that if it did, then the problem most likely is solved. I am reluctant to offer an opinion because I am not the mechanic charged with troubleshooting the brake system and I do not want to be seen as someone pointing fingers at the poor guy. You can bet that if he screwed the pooch, well, he darn well knows it and is kicking himself in the ass for it. This is a very expensive lesson he is learning in regard to repair costs and public embarrassment. 🙂
Dwain I love your fly in videos man!! I could look at airplanes and watch the take offs and landings all day. I've been that way since I was a kid! Still am...a 52 year old kid... Man! Glad that wasn't a wooden prop! He was right there at you. Glad you, he, and the plane are ok. Thank you so much for sharing!
@@19Cub It's going well thanks. Picking away at the Aeronca and stockpiling firewood, heavy frosts here and new snow on hills, it's going to be a cold winter. I have the rib jig set up for the Sky Scout and will try and get the ribs built this winter, good cold weather activity. Hope things are going well down south.
Great film quality! And while music in the background of videos can be good, I do appreciate being able to just hear the raw sound of the airplanes in this video.
Great to see a Legal Eagle in there with it's bigger and badder brethren. Sad about the brake lockup at the end, but this may have been FAR worse on landing. Thanks Dwain.
Looked to me like the guy was trying to taxi tail up. Watch the elevator. He doesn't give it any back pressure until the prop strikes the ground. I don't know though, as I guess the brakes locked up about the time the prop struck. That's a very expensive lesson the learn.
I guess the old saying is true, A watched channel never updates. I think that’s it. Great videos, keep them coming and thank you for documenting our events so well.
Awesome! Thank you very much for posting.
I'm glad you showed the last two.

Busy field. Thanks for the video Dwain.
Thanks for watching, my friend.

Thanks a lot, my friend.
Great video. You definitely captured the "spirit" of Reklaw! Very unique event to say the least. The PC-12 coming in was surprising and awesome.
Thanks a lot, Stephen.
How very cool, from East Wenatchee WA
Thanks a lot, Bruce, and thanks for watching.
Hopefully the Citabria crankshaft will mic. Ok.
Pretty soft stoppage.
Hi Brianne, how is everything going up your way?

Thank you very much, John, and thanks for watching.

Well maybe I can make it next year. I went to reklaw in 2009 and have not been able to return. See (Joecool goes to Reklaw 2009). Thank you for going!
Thanks for watching, my friend.
Looks like a great turn out this year and no rain awesome
Loved to see a shot of a Petetenpol. I've got one in progress.
Hi Bruce, there are a few more shots of the Pietenpol coming up in part 2. 🙂
Great to see a Legal Eagle in there with it's bigger and badder brethren. Sad about the brake lockup at the end, but this may have been FAR worse on landing. Thanks Dwain.
You're right Steve, I hate to think of him landing with those brakes locked up. I love the Legal Eagle too and wish I could have filmed more of it.
Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much, Scott, and thanks for watching.
It's good to see your videos again Dwain! Have missed you!
Thank you, my friend.
Was hoping you caught me on camera lol but you did catch my campground with the dark green and white 170
Your 170 is absolutely gorgeous my friend. You may still show up in part two or three. I videoed a huge amount of footage.
@@19Cub awesome and I sure wish that was my plane but it's a friends
Dwain caught me taxiing.
Reklaw is Walker spelled backwards as is Sacul which is Lucas spelled backwards. Been thru there many times.
Thanks a lot for watching, Capn Pete.

Hi Scotabot, it was a gut-check for sure. I felt really bad for the pilot.
Say what you want about America but this is the only place on Earth where you're going to see anything like this.
impresses by that prop
part two coming soon? looking to see if you may have got some footage of my airplane! thanks

Great videos, keep them coming and thank you for documenting our events so well.
How far is Reklaw from El Paso? I'm thinking we're clear across state.
Didn’t happen to get footage of a Baron low pass Friday morning before the rain, did you?
Hi Jimmy, I did not arrive until Saturday. If you were flying Saturday, chances are I videoed you. Part 2 is coming out soon.
Nice video Dwain! Boy, there is some questionable piloting going on in some sections of this video. Whew!!!!!!
Hi Scotabot, No doubt about it, those boys were having a blast.
