here's the break down:
engine mount: toast
firewall:no damage (that's REAL good news)
wings
k, a few bumps and bruises
verticle stabilizer: a little crunched but not too bad

bruce: fucknut is an idiot
no equivilant to AAA wolf, mike went out there last night and trailered the airplane and drove it to our sister airport where we can make repairs
yeah, i had quoted bob hoover bigv. "fly the thing as far into the crash....." which fucknut didn't do. this is a perfect example of what not to do when the engine quits for whatever reason.
