Default Dreaded King Cat Bounce

Well....I did it, I went off and Killed the Cat....

Got in the bounce on landing deal, decided to go around ( late in the game) and dumped the left wing just as power came on....result...complete loss of airframe. Turbine survived and so did all of the installed gear (look for cat specific items for sale soon).

She is gone, it was a good run while it lasted....

Do you think trail link struts would have helped?
How long did the Kingcat live and who is it survived by?

Its dead, trust me. VERY DEAD! The airframe was completely trashed....I did it up right.

Survived by its Sister the Élan, and brothers MB339 and FA-18.

Just my turn in the barrel, I guess....
