Sorry for the loss of your bird. It does look totalled. I have to say, though, after reading your subject line, I was quite releaved it was an airplane that had died!

Sometimes it is hard for us to know when to stop and fix a problem. You were being told by your aircraft it was having a problem, but you kept flying. Not pointing a finger here, I have done it multiple times too. Always easier to look back after the fact and know what should have been done. A learning experience we all have gone through.

Good luck going forward,
