Finn..
 Glad you are ok.. Glad we all can learn from it.. and glad you will be around for me to buy you a beer some day later this or early next year.

 Once the Velocity is up and running, I forsee a pilgramage to Florida.. not only to visit you guys, but to meet back up with some God-sent medical folks from West Palm Beach who came and got our tit out of a wringer, staffing wise, during "Exodus Houston - 2005"

Be safe, gang,
Dave

No I'm not going to have it painted!

No engine or airplane problems. Just an extreeme case of "get-there-itis". Controlled flight into trees. Trying to do a landing at night. Let on by the fact I had done it before (of course then it was a moonlit night and field to the right of the strip had a nice contrast to the field).

There really is no excuse or justification.

Should have followed my alternate plan and gone to Cross City.

Done is done. Need to move on. Sort of in the market for a real inexpensive RV-3 or RV-4 kit.

Tracy you're welcome to post pictures.

Thanks for all the well wishes!

Finn
