Gear Collapse edit

"Roll oscillation" on landing caused the gear to collapse? Watch the video on the DVD. Its "sink rate," not "roll oscillation." The landing gear wasn't built to handle that kind of vertical speed. I'll defer to the folks at Scaled as to whether it was sink rate or roll, but it sure looked looks like sink rate to me. NIN 20:59, 6 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
