ORIGINAL: Neverland
Good news is the pilot, even though not happy survived lol
Survived? Looks like he lost the lower half of his body.

5/32" struts are really not adequate for warbirds this heavy ( 10# ), they are marginal at best in the lighter ( 8# ) H-9 warbirds. Best to stick with 3/16" or larger and forget the shims.
