All is well.  A friend of Duffy's at LAL called to say that the two

that I saw flip a Lancair on Sunday are fine, and the Ultra Light

pilot that

crashed only has a broken leg.

As Margaret and I were in line to depart Sunday from Sun n Fun, we

saw a gold

collored Lanceair, I think, land funny, power up and get off the

airstrip and

flip over. They shut the airport for about 30 minutes. Then opened 9R

and let

us go.

Jerry the plane that flipped is my hangar neighbor. It was a Glasair

with 8

cylinder Lycoming twin turbo IO-740. His usual climb rate was 6500 fpm.
He had no insurance and it is about 500K loss. They delivered the

remains

this morning on a trailer. The owner was together with his wife when it
happened, but they are OK.

Bummer....Really BIG Bummer.   I hate to hear sad stories like that.....I
feel bad when anyone looses a labor of love like an airplane that they spent
years and countless dollars creating, only to loose it in a few seconds.
Thankfully, they were not injured.  Paul Conner
