Default U-can-do = No-can-do...

My buddy's engine quit at low altitude and he stalled it.

I didn't get a full view of the entire event, because I think I was getting ready to run my own plane or something. I just hear him cuss, and the looked up to see it disappear into the weeds. Our Sig Mayhems are quite a bit larger than that little U-Can-Do, and I'm guilty of inverted low passes over the runway all the time.

Personally, I think it was just a helmet fire on his part, and he pulled up too hard and stalled the wing.
