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? : ) Stan Sutterfield In a message dated 7/8/2011 3:09:56 A.M.

From: "William L. Paulin" 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.

Eastern Daylight Time, Matt Dralle writes: >Makes me wish my RV-8 was rebuilt 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.

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.
