Hi Steve,

    I was wondering about your landing in the gravel  pit. Apparently something collapsed, gear leg or what? It did not appear as  though the touch down was that severe, however it was apparent that it was  primarily on one leg. Could you be a bit more specific as to what failed, and  how much damage it did.

Larry,



  I didn't get the impression it was actually Steve that crashed.  I believe he was just passing along a good video.  In fact, If you pull the video up, it mentions the name Paul Bradicich.  One thing I don't quite understand though, is why he had to crach at the last second.  He seemed to have it all under control, and then Wamm!  

  I don't want to "Monday morning quarterback this poor fellow, but why not hang in there for 5 more seconds and at least begin a landing, even if he would have to plow into something not too far away on the roll out?



  Have a pleasant day, Lar.  There's a MkIII out in my shop, yelling for me to get something done today.  Adios.



Mike Welch

Hi Mike,, I thought the same but it seems that what happened was that he 

touched the left wing tip. Shame, he had made a good job of it unti then

I saw this video about a year ago and actually talked to the individual that landed at this site.  He did catch a small tree that turned him around.  It was a Phantom and he had very little damage to the landing gear.  I was impressed that he found a site to put it into at all.
