Nice Log Matt, but sorry for the occasion. That had to be a very violent event
... seeing all the damage. Good work in saving the landing as much as you did.
As to your lessons, I certainly agree with your "don't try to make the turn-off."
But is there another lesson? In addition to a maximum crosswind component
(especially for tail draggers), should we have a simple maximum wind speed limit?
... or maybe a maximum gust component (e.g., Vgust - Vsteady)? Any gust
is bound to not be dead nuts down the centerline ... and should produce differential
lift that is hard to handle until the airplane is fully planted and slowed
... again, especially in a tail dragger, but also in a nose dragger.

No doubt that's a cool picture - but I wonder if it is authentic.
The lighting on the 51 looks suspect to me.
Does anyone know the photographer??

Yeah, its quite the bummer. I figure about 1172 hours to rebuild. Let me tell
you, it has been really emotionally difficult to deconstruct a mostly perfect
fuselage. Every time I un-build a different part of the old fuselage salvaging
parts to put on the new fuselage, I am reminded of all the work involved in
building one of these airplanes.
But, this week I actually started real construction on the new fuselage and that
felt good. Also, a lot of the replacement parts (wiring, connectors, etc) started
arriving this week and getting presents in the mail always cheers me up.
:-)
Be careful out there. The RVs seem really stout, but they're really pretty fragile.
I wasn't going that fast and the mishap really wasn't that big of a deal
- I see guys in C-150's doing stuff like it all the time - but the damage can
be disproportionately great.

Is that a 3/4 scale P-51? I do see flaps deployed on the lead so us pesky

Matt,
So sorry to hear about your incident. I can only imagine the horror of
seeing the damage when you climbed out of the plane. (I'm building a 7A)
This got me to thinking...
You mentioned that your plane has aftermarket landing gear.
Is it possible that the gear was "too strong" so that instead of sacrificing
the gear struts, the energy was transferred to the airframe?
Would stock landing gear have bent & saved the fuse?
Engineering minds want to know...

When I showed the pictures to Van's they commented that they were surprised that
the gear leg didn't break off. So, it would seem that the gear leg breaking
off would have perhaps reduced or eliminated the fuselage damage around the gear
leg mount.
BUT, if the gear leg had broken, the other damage would have probably been a lot
worse. For example the prop would have hit the ground and damaged it, the engine
would have required tear down, the left wing would have sustained much more
damage, and the risk of flipping over would have been a lot greater which
would have caused a substantial amount more damage.
The real question I guess is if the gear leg had broken, would the alternate damage
repair have taken 1172 hours? Had to say at this point, I suppose.

Yes it is real.
6 or 8 years ago we put up a 10 or 12-RV formation at Mason City Iowa with
Doug Rosendall in a P-51. An RV and P-51 can fly together. It has been do
ne before and will be done again.

I'll vouch for its authenticity too (like Slick and Condor). (I was the red
RV on the Mustang's right wing).
This was following a multi-ship fly-by of the Boulder City 4th of July
parade. We had a 7-ship of RVs in a Delta with Stinger, followed by a CJ-6
leading a T-6 and an Extra in a Vic, followed by the Mustang in trail.
After the fly-by we reformed over Lake Mead (T-6 and CJ departed) and shot a
bunch of photos from the lead RV, who flew over the other 6 RVs and the
Extra all in Echelon on the Mustang. In looking at the photos, we all
commented on how surreal the airplanes look over the washed out terrain
around Lake Mead. But it's for real!
It was a fun hop, and if you'd like to see more pics from that day and from
other West Coast Raven events, check the photographer's website out here:

And yes, the Merlin sounds pretty cool from the wing! :-)

I'll vouch for its authenticity too (like Slick and Condor). (I was the red
RV on the Mustang's right wing).
This was following a multi-ship fly-by of the Boulder City 4th of July
parade. We had a 7-ship of RVs in a Delta with Stinger, followed by a CJ-6
leading a T-6 and an Extra in a Vic, followed by the Mustang in trail.
After the fly-by we reformed over Lake Mead (T-6 and CJ departed) and shot a
bunch of photos from the lead RV, who flew over the other 6 RVs and the
Extra all in Echelon on the Mustang. In looking at the photos, we all
commented on how surreal the airplanes look over the washed out terrain
