Ah, never mind. Now I see your rebuild web page. I didn't know you had
the mishap. Glad you're okay and that the gear didn't fold.
Good luck with your rebuild. Maybe add a nose wheel like mine? : )

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.

Fellow RVers,
If you feeling like you needed a little inspiration on that RV project, check out
the attached photo. What an awesome shot of a P-51 Mustang leading a flight
of 7 RVs!! Totally cool! Makes me wish my RV-8 was rebuilt. But then, what
doesn't... ;-)

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.

Matt, I just reviewed the pics of the damage and I am very sorry to learn
about how sever the damage is. It is astounding that a couple slowing taxi
side bounces could create so much damage. I'm glad you are okay and have a
positive viewpoint. If the same happened to me I might just "park" it. I wi
sh you good luck and rapid, quick repairs, Bill of Georgia N288WP, RV-8a, 9
