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.

True. Our last camping trip is scheduled for November. Last year we got frozen out of it. We'll see
what this year brings.

Summer is a great time for flying because school's out. We use the big playground behind a local
school.
