November 5, 20196 yr comment_53834 So I was flying with Kliegmann and started messing with my aileron trim prior to takeoff and this happened....... The center section of my plane disappeared, Look at the pic attached. I did not try to take off, maybe I should have to see , definitely lost all of my blind spots from the 109 Canopy supports, side of cockpit etc etc. May have been a huge visual advantage ! Although losing the all gauges was probably not an ideal situation either ! Looking to the rear, you could see the tail of the fuselage, and some control hardware in the center. I did not get a screen of that Report
