The Cuyuna parts guy had sent me a new standard set of Cuyuna pistons and rings and had warned me that I may have more problems with the Wiseco's if I left them in ...My CHT on this cylinder had been around 340 since the last decarbon but yesterday it had been around 300...... There was no warning including the gauges( had just scanned them 10 seconds before) when it went to idle over a large woods with cross country power lines on the edge. I had just enough glide to make the corn field and went under the lines and stalled in the corn on the other side.....close , real close... Damage to the Ultrastar is limited to a couple steel tubes ,some fabric work and aluminum tubes in the nose...and a bent left gear leg (Firestar) and a broken axle to gear leg fitting....One small hole from a punture in the left outboard wing. It is not a lot of work but I am going to use this as an opportunity to make some changes ...like a full canopy as the Sling shot has and more fuel.....n numbers ? The best description of what it was like is if you took a small motorcycle at 35 mph and drove it into a 8 foot corn field.....you don't get very far ! ........Kinda dark in there, too ! The farmer turned out to be a brother of one of my regular customers and understanding....said when they chopped the corn that he would let me know if I owed him anything....you meet the nicest people at airplane accidents !

Don't get far with a very large one at 55 mph either. Guess how I know. Coldcocked by a corn stalk snuffy......;>) Do not archive
