No offense taken.

Besides. Writing about the crash is cheaper than a therapy session!

There's a bright side to this litle tale. One of my flying mates took the wrecked plane and is rebuilding it. He says that he has most of the fuselage done, and is working on the wing. (Its a straight-chord wing, so one rib is all that's needed as a template) I just gave him the untouched (!) cowl, canopy and control horns yesterday - once my new kit gets here I'm going to give him the fuel tank and landing gear, as my original ones are already assembled & plumbed and are undamaged.

I hope he pulls this one off!
