Upon further review, you have a point. Certainly not a full hopper of colored water but it could be a light surry of water and powder. Something has to have enough mass to drop. Will have to see what they say. Wing folding at the root is going to have some interesting details. RIP.
Found this interesting:

Well, there's a real test of a relationship. . . when the backseater punches you out while you are still PIC and handling the situation. Doggone lucky that it didn't hit anything and apparently the back seater didn't have the ending up in an apartment cross his mind at all. . . they were a...
Back to aviation. First look at the spinning plane and the plane pitching up and down tells me that the stab is still there, otherwise it would be tumbling nose over tail. But it seems to have little pitch control in a barely controlled spinning like vertical descent. White smoke looks like...
These old ones still work and you do need to maintain them. Yes to the bail wire safety wire. I used a simple wrap less complicated, it’s just enough to keep the bail from spreading.
Seems like the idea of personal responsibility vs. corporation responsibility is a debatable subject. A reminder to insure to a level where you would feel comfortable in self-insuring hull damage if anything happens over and above that level. Also liability insurance is a no-brainer for your...
"For all we know the rudder position may be entirely passive"
IMHO, unlikely - and you can see that left rudder faintly before this, as the light shines through the rudder balance tab and the vertical stab. More likely the student (if indeed he was licensed, which a post tended to doubt) had a...
It goes against what first eyewitness reports were at the time. Possible the witnesses could not distinguish between the two, given the cabin on the gyro. Tragic video above, sorry for this loss. Like some noted, there was some cowboy flying that day.
Left Rudder into the stall. Flaps are normal short field. Simple departure stall from a mushy climb. CFI should have done more stalls and slow flight. That’s it.
Beads: Dish washing soup helps.
Talc and baby Powder: Fine if it doesn't have any corn starch.
Tube: Why not replace it. It's the one thing that will leak due to old age.
Inflate, deflate, inflate again.
