Well, after 8 months of beating on this airplane, I finally pranged it...... As I was pulling (pushing) out of a LOW (10' or so) inverted pass, my ultra reliable ST G90 dead sticked for the first time in it's 7 years of abuse, at about 50' above the ground, nearly vertical. Once I got the thing upright and pointed back at the field, I ran out of airspeed, altitude and ideas. She pancaked in at about a 20 degree angle, nose down. Fortunately, it had about zero airspeed, so the only damage was to the main gear mount, the tailwheel mount and the Slimline pitts muffler. I've already fixed the tailwheel, and ordered a new Bisson for the engine. The main LG mount delaminated (gotta love Chinaply) and pulled all 4 of the blind nuts through the wood. This was actually a blessing, as the surrounding structure was almost undamaged. I've got it cut out and and already made a new mounting plate. I'll get the thing all put back together tomorrow....

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. This thing is the best bang for the buck beater airplane I've ever had.......
