| Subject: | GSC gets another one. |
Hi all:
I am sad to report that my beautiful Model IV Speedster was destroyed last week
in a forced landing caused by the GSC prop.
All three blades departed the airplane in straight and level cruise flight. The
engine stayed in place and the Kitfox's glides performance was excellent. Unfortunately
we were over a residential neighborhood and had to put it down in
rough terrain. No injuries to the the two occupants and no damage on the ground,
but the airplane was totaled.
I will try to attach photos of the prop hub and the airplane on the ground.
BY THE WAY; if anyone knows of a good Model IV Speedster for sale, please let me
know.

Jim,
I am very sorry to learn of the loss of your Kitfox. On the other hand I
send my congratulations on the obviously skilled handling of such an extreme
situation. Two people on board, over a populated area, and no injuries is
about as good as it gets. I hope you had your aircraft insured.
