Tim - I do not like thunderstorms or lightning, I am eager to hang the rebuilt engine on and fly!
Glenn - the story is pretty much explained by a few pics in my photos.
Hi David -
With your multiple UL "experiences", lightening is striking 2, 3, 4(?) times at the same location! Your airplane is gorgeous, I am glad you and it are OK. Tim
David,
So glad that you landed safely!
I have been following your engine pics. and there seems to be a story to tell here.
I am officially scared....
Dan - me $$ too!
Clint - It did long enough to get me where I needed to go! Not quite 1 minute and 50 secs before zero RPM, though steadily slowing and winding down until about the last twenty seconds.
Shawn - ditto!!
That hurts me to see it......
Little engine put up quite a fight! Glad you and your plane will get a chance to fly another day
Ouch!
