Default SR-22 Crash, with a twist

The same guy who owns the SR-22 also bought a Sukhoi-29 as his first tail
dragger. He got his tail wheel endorsement by the seller in less than 6
hours. These planes can potentially be a handful even with experienced
pilots- they sit pretty nose high, no visibility, and the torque goes the
"wrong" way.

Not unexpectedly he had a bad landing, dropping it in. As a result he needed
a new prop (an expensive MT), along with some significant repairs. Luckily
he didn't get hurt, other than his pride.
