This plane was just purchased Friday, insurance took effect at midnight and then this saturday just after noon.... a control surface problem
the pilot and passenger walked away. Nothing more than pale faces and bruised pride. We here were all greatly relieved.

Seen a few pickups with dents like that in the tail gate -- my little old Mitsubishi Mite had one EXACTLY like that from backing into a palm in Custom Airs parking lot at FLL one wet and whisky night ;)

Hi Joe,

You won't ever let me forget that. :lol: :lol:

I've got short legs too so I could be a candidate for this as well. :doh:
