Here is the deal...Recently I picked up some ice very quickly, and when the hot props went on there was a little ice slinging episode which knocked our some body filler that had been previously installed. The dents were no worse than before, and were in the rounded part of the top of the fuselage (part of the pressure vessel and above the thick panel which is made to take the hit). Problem was, three pieces of body filler, about the size of a quarter each, missing do not look too good. Over the week end the Poly-Fiber Superfil Epoxy from Aircraft Spruce and Specialty was used. There is actually an STC for its use. It appears to work quite well.

"The pilot of a twin-engine plane that crashed in the Angeles National Forest was identified Saturday as a 50 year-old Las Vegas man. John Rice died in the roughly 3 p.m. crash Thursday about 3 miles north of La Canada Flintridge just east of Angeles Crest Highway, according to Kelly Yagerlener of the coroner's office. No one else was on board the 1977 Rockwell Commander registered to John and Jeannie Rice. The National Transportation Safety Board is handling the investigation." Does anyone have additional information?

I saw a brief video clip on a news broadcast, and from what they showed I could tell it was definitely not a twin. It's always sad to lose one, and my condolences go out to their family and friends.
