but i thought i'd give everyone an update. as bad as i hate to say it........(no pun intended) "the eagle has landed" permanently. i wasn't there and i didn't get to see it. with less than 10 flights on it, this beautiful bird has met it's demise and now resides in that big boneyard in the sky. the pilot said he "tried to bring it up too fast" , started tip stalling, almost saved it by dropping the nose, once the wings quit rocking he went right back into the elevator and BAM stalled one last time and came down. such a beautiful bird. it's really a shame. the owner/pilot wants me to come take a look when he gets all his gear out of it. i don't know if he wants to see about repairing it, selling it, or what. we'll wait and see.
