Zodiac CH 601 Rudder Incident
Hi,
My Zodiac 601 experienced a left rudder jam which forced the pilot to hard land immediately after rotate. It was about 15 feet airborne.
Both wings and landing gears were damaged -which i am planning to repair.
It also dented the oil cooler. What should I be looking for in the engine for signs of damage and how can I tell the engine is serviceable?
Thanks!
J.

Do you have any idea what caused the rudder jam?

the pilot had a lady passenger with hand luggage which he suspects pressed on the pedal. nothing suspicious was noted once on the ground. seemingly unexplainable.
