RE: NOT a GOOD thing!
team,
the shrioke did skip off the ground with a very loud thud follow by silence both from the plane and spectators. Well I was expecting to see a cloud of balsa dust and a debris field for at least 200 feet! It came up in one piece and I still had elevator and aileron control. I went out and climbed turn back for the field with a 10-15 mpd tail wind and came in rather hot skipped off the runway and ended up in the tall grass clipping a sapling. Inspection followed engine and prop fine fuselage shatter wing tip damage from sappling.
