Can't find the original message now but I thought it was talking about a
plane called Discovery (or something like that) which was a canard.  The
description of the crash & other details sounded exactly like the one I was
familiar with.  If the crash in question was in a Rans S12 it

definitely was

not the one I was talking about. Sorry if I got off on a tangent.

I don't think the NTSB has a record of a 13B canard losing a muffler.
What year did that happen? NTSB goes only back to 1983.

If it was the Discovery, the NTSB might not have listed it as a canard because
it was a 3 surface aircraft. I'm pretty sure that the NTSB listing posted
just a month or so ago (re: rotary engines in accidents) included this accident.
