The reason I ask is because I lost my LT-40 this weekend while doing touch and goes. I had to pull up and away from a guy who ran out onto the runway and the little 40LA could not pull her over the trees that parallel the runway, so I had to level her off and let her go behind them. Well, the plane did not come out the other side and it did not go into the tree. I searched for over 20 hours in the head-high corn behind the trees to no avail.

What a sickening feeling to lose a plane altogether-especially your first.
