Sadly the balance point was way off. Looks like it should have been 23% MAC, not 30% MAC. That bugger was too tail heavy. I nearly got it down safely until some mf idiot drove a bobcat across the runway as I was on final, then I had something fail in one of the wings and it kept rolling left. I eventually got it low enough for a forced landing. Damaged the lower wings, and upper fuse. I have to rebuild both bottom wings from rib 3 to the fuse, and repair the upper cabin where the right wing attaches. Upper wings are fine, but need new wing braces.
