Hi Group

Curious, John Hurst spoke of saving ones-self with a Mono after a gear up landing or flat if no tools were available.

He said you could remove right wing and stabilator, then put floor mats under fuse and roll aeroplane with port wing sticking up in air.

Has anyone actually done this?

Thx. Ron P.

And how many trusted bystanders would it take to keep that port wing vertical?

Hi Fred

Be interesting to hear from someone who has done this maneuver to know for sure and know if rope on starboard side of aeroplane was part of it. A picture would be great. A picture of long wing variant would be even more great!

To specifically answer your question, the best I can do is say it will probably take less trusted bystanders than it did to actually lift a Cessna 310 by hand that my friend had a gear collapse on, on a Sunday evening. It took a heard and all the friends of an entire skydiving gaggle! Ron P.

I’m curious to know how you handle the horizontal stab during this maneuver?

Hi Bob

John said he removes Starboard wing and Starboard horizontal stab, so you only have a round spar to deal with?
