Bill,

Repair has already begun and it is reported to be reasonable. Sure am glad that I was not driving. We were just before programming the radio and simulating engine out.

The engine out was probably due to going to low throttle on down wind leg. Right turn 180 degrees with right engine out showed no difficulty. No one knew that an engine was out. Straighten out for landing while slightly above tree top and discovered a drift to far side of runway. A throttle up to full for go around created a very pretty 90-degree flat turn to the right towards the woods. No one knew that an engine was out. Throttle back and the airplane straightened out towards the woods. Into the woods it went.

The moral to this story is to practice engine outs during non-emergency time and before the real thing happens. We were one flight too late on our practice.
