Dave The most essential repair that he had to do was the right rear elevator. That serves as both a control and lift structure...hell, he could have stripped the fuselage down to the support members and flown the plane. Its too bad the photos didn't show how he fixed the tail. But I bet he was at pucker factor 10 on the flight back...no way to see if the patchjob was holding up, and unable to listen for flapping plastic over the engine noise. I wonder if he flew as low and slow as possible, or else strapped on a chute and flew as high as possible to give him more time to get out in case of catastrophic failure. --riverman |
