Proof that **** happens.

I saw him fly it in that configuration twice a few years back at Triple Tree in SC. The first time was great, the second time it folded a wing over the runway doing slow rolls and went in.

In this video it's pretty clear the outboard left engine was failing (at or near idle), and it just stalled and went in.

Mine's still tits up in the garage. Got to stop this camping **** and get my airplane fixed up so I
can crash it again.

You can fly airplanes in the winter, camping, not so much.

Why not?

A lot of the campgrounds here and to the north close during the winter.

There's warmer weather and open campgrounds to the south.

You're right. Three of us are thinking of going to Alabama this fall for some golf on the Robert
Trent Jones trail. https://www.rtjgolf.com/trailguide/rtjtrailguide.pdf

It's still in the 'thinking about it' stage, and it's not my idea. But, it looks like it could be
fun. I doubt if we'd save much money taking the 5er, but at least we could do our own cooking and
know the sheets were clean. Campgrounds in AL aren't very expensive from what little research I've
done.
