REFLECTOR: Reflector Digest, Vol 113, Issue 18

Sun Aug 17 11:15:49 CDT 2014

Most possible is overheating during taxiing. My old velocity N29DH suffered
the same accident 9 months after I sold it.
The gear inside the legs looked like the epoxy and layups had actually
changed in molecular substance  .
Any Velocity where you see the tow in changed to a serious tow out is
suspectable in my view..
