Default Mid-air Avistar vs. Ryan STA

I didn't have my camera at the field, but here is the result to my Avistar after a mid-air with a Ryan STA. They hit almost head on. I feel kind of bad because that Ryan was such a good looking plane. He probably will be able to rebuild because his fuselage was not badly damaged. We both lost good portions of our wings and my elevator was ripped off. I lawndarted in from about 200 feet and destroyed my front end. Note the clean cut on the leading edge of the wing. The flying wires on the part of his wing that broke got tangled up with my plane and was flound at the crash site.
