Kawa rough landing?
Kawa has been a beta-tester for a novel engine installation in the GP14. It was always going to be fallible.
Reading his account, he was not complacently relying on the motor to start. He started it where he thought he had acceptable landing options, and after it failed to start he continued to fly with what he thought were acceptable landing options. He attempted to land in what he had judged to be an acceptable if difficult field, and unfortunately it turned out not to be. If as he says this was his first field landing accident after decades of cross country flying in hazardous terrain in the heat of competition he is not doing too badly.
