I know nobody actually wanted me to do this. You're all great guys. I'm sure the odd guy thinks I had it coming and if you'd seen the way I was flying and the conditions I think we would all agree on this ocassion. Still you live and learn and I'm glad it wasn't my pc9.

i did do a good job of re-kitting. Lol. The engine was fully under the soil and the entire front end from mid wing forward was totally obliterated with hardly and pieces bigger than a penny. Nice job hey.

i smashed the needle valve out of the carb so I'm trying to track down a new one right now. Hopefully I can pick up my identical replacement tomorrow and carry on. I may have to refit my magnum for a day or two but ill stick to calm days with that engine.
