Couldn't believe it, but last friday I got a phone call from a mate to say that he had my spit in the boot of his car, a fisherman had found it 62 miles out at sea. It's been about sixty days since I lost it, but I have no idea how long it was actually in the water for.
The engine was a new TT91FS and is definitely salvagable, as are the retracts, wheels, retract valve, engine mount, fuel filler and the pilot. This is great news since I am part way thru painting it's replacement, now I have the retracts and engine for it!
Question, do I use the same pilot, or retire him now after acting beyond the call of duty? Guess I'll make sure whoever flies the next one is equiped with some scuba gear.
Read this thread for when it was lost...
