Thanks P3. I got a chuckle out of your first statement there. Not to laugh at your club's misfortune. It's more a nod at the gallows humor and a familiar sentiment. We live in constant fear of what is going to get busted next. It's mostly small damage with us, but sometimes it seems to be a constant barrage of small damage.

I will forward George Taylor's info to my friend with the crippled B4.

All the best,

Our poor Pilatus was knocked around a couple of times - nothing serious - until one day when she was being towed out to the launch line during a strong ridge day with a single wing walker. Suddenly the Pilatus was executing beautiful Immelman in at about 20 feet AGL. Unfortunately, the maneuver lacked the requisite 180 roll in the second half, and the aircraft ended up upside down with a busted wing and a broken "back".
