After a long time being very quite i called the investigator today, since i had not heard anything. He has finished the report a long time ago, and forwarded it to his peer: The investigation court. Now he promised to ask the judge for permission to forward the report to me. Strange habits, especially if you think of flight safety. So in a few days i hope to be able to publish the report here.
Netherthelesss some facts came up allready: The cause of the accident could not be determined without reasonable doubt. The pitch motor was fully blocked, but damage caused by impact and fire could not be excluded. The blade pitch was 0, not negative. The parts are still there, and it looks that i may have a look on my planned visit to Austria this Autumn.
I have been looking with awe to the pichture of the "mechanical stops" What i see is a slot, same as a blade i have.
It is very clear from the picture that there is damage in the BOTTOM of the slot, not on the end. Same on the blade here. This can only be caused by the end stop bolt, scraping over the bottom of the slot. It seems very possible that in my case, under high centrifugal force, this caused the blade to lock, motor to burn, and the rest of the story is history.
Kind Regards,
