[img]cid:04a94369-3e35-4ae4-9237-912079725d7b[/img]I've seen pictures of similar crashes. Is there an issue where the prop or something gets flung from the prop and strikes the boom tube? Other crash photos on the web of kolbs show it kinked there. See the photo from the news article attached.

I am not a Crash expert, although I have managed to do so three times so far, but this looks to me like what would result from a stall. Notice how much the nose is crumpled and the plane is in a "lawn Dart" position. The broken boom tube is quite a ways past where the prop would strike, plus the prop is still on the plane, so I doubt that the prop was involved in the accident at all, perhaps other than running at the time. The original picture shows the runway about 2-3 hundred yards behind the plane.
However it is perhaps foolish to second guess anyone much less this poor guy.
I once stalled about 50 feet above my runway trying to master slow flight. I looked away for a second and the plane dropped nose down, as I watched my ASI go past 30 MPH the wrong direction. I was in a steep angle descent when I punched the throttle full forward. It of course took a looong time to spool up, but I managed to get it into a close to level attitude before impact but I still hit one gear leg hard enough to break off the axle of my right gear leg, and bury the gear leg all the way up to the bottom of the cage. I blame the VG's for my survival.

I had a bad landing ( FS ll ) that resulted in a broken boom tube at the same place shown in the photo-The H-section ends where the break is. Maybe the H-section could be longer...but I would expect that the boom would still be destroyed, just further aft.
I also had damage to the fuselage sleeve that accepts the gear leg.
Any design ideas for a J-3 type of bungee shock absorber? Fuselage would really need reviewing.

John, take a look at the gear on John Hauck's Mk III. Yes it takes some
major mods to do it, but it can be done. The other way you might consider
is the Grove style bent aluminum gear. That would be much easier to
install.
