Just a thought. New England Air Museum are at Bradley though I don’t remember if they have airfield access. Could they offer help, they seemed to do a lot of work on their bits and pieces?

Hopefully you guys are doing OK emotionally and won't suffer too hard from post - accident anxiety or phobia. It happens even to the strongest and it is normal...
You guys rock! Good luck with the aftermath! Now you have precious test flight data for hydraulic failures and skidding :D

Make sure to add a .1 to the logbook entry as the hobbs would have stopped counting after the engines were shut off :D

That would be glider time, wouldn’t it?

Seriously, though, glad there was minimal damage and zero injuries.

Hi Guys,
Sorry to hear about your mishap, but glad that you are both okay. I hope the damage to the aircraft is not substantial, and is repairable without too many problems. As an aside from that, will this accident have any delaying affect on the completion of the sim version ?. An aircraft which I am sure many of us are eagerly awaiting :lol:
Cheers,

Neil

Yes but only in that we are putting a different airplane on the front burner to be released next.

WOW! I'm just seeing this news. Congrats Scott and Jake on being safe. It looks like you had plenty of time to try all options, knew what was best, and you even flew the approach to allow Jake enough time to feather and spin the starter to to keep from tearing up the props too. Well done you guys, much respect.
