Very glad to hear only a thumb scratch, Bob - but, really sorry to hear about your great looking BD-4. Its just a shame to spend so much time and effort and get so few flying hours out of it. But, just glad you are able to tell us about it.

Subject: [FlyRotary] N93BD is seriously damaged.
Just to let everyone know I had a serious problem with a landing
today and the plane is seriously damaged. Pilot has a scratch on his
thumb.
I had a pretty bad bounce on landing and after the second bounce,
decided to go around. That was a mistake. I never got out from behind
the power curve and ended up doing a high power skid into the grass on
the south side of the runway. Both main wheels were torn off, the prop
disintegrated, an the fuselage is somewhat bent. After contacting the
ground, the plane did about 1/2 turn and skidded to a stop.
