The impact bent the nosegear and ripped out the left maingear. The right main was also damaged slightly and will probably need replacement. Prop strike occured and prop was destroyed. While sliding along grass surface=2C the exaust pipe end w as flattened. Mechanic states that this is not a big problem. The oil coo ler is bent from the nose gear impact. The left wing has a small wrinkle ne ar the tip=2C but this should be an easy fix=2C The engine=2C empenage=2C cowl=2C aft fuselage=2C all instruments=2C trim a nd flap controls are all intact and right wing is also intact. As noted=2C left wing will need minor repair. the mid fuselage and landing gear housings will need to be rebuilt. I am t old that this fix can be made but no one around here seems wanting to tackl e it. Pictures are available @ my e mail address if you want to take a loo k. Will sell entire aircraft or parts as desired.

You also have an engine and gearbox inspection to carry out. They will want to know what rpm the engine was turning when it hit and what kind of prop it was. Rotax has a special procedure that must be followed since it is an SLSA or it will not be able to have it's airworthy cert again. Any repair not in the Allegro maint manual will need to be written up and submitted to the Allegro people for approval. Just for everyones info. If a procedure is not in the maint. manual (i.e...a brake replacement) it must have a "letter of approval" from the factory to keep its airworthy certificate. It is now considered a major repair if it is not in the manual. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
