That was tough to see. But I am still scratching my head as to how the heck that thing came out in pretty much one piece. I was expecting to see pieces splattered all over the place but when we got out to the wreckage site it was basically intact. The nose was broken and there was some other damage on the fuse. My first reaction was "heck, this is fixable", but it would still be a lot of work. I've never had that kind of luck in a crash of that type (well, maybe with a foamy). The thing went straight in but the only piece that separated from the plane was the canopy.

If any of you get a chance to fly with Chip then you will really benefit. He helped me trim out my Passport and got it set up nicely. Chip has an amazing sense for what an airplane is doing and how to get it to work right. He zeroed in and fixed a few issues that I have had for a long time. I got lazy and lived with them but he dove right in and wouldn't stop until it was fixed. Thanks Chip, it was a ton of fun.
