    Very happy you walked or floated away from that. You built a beautiful plane and were obviously enjoying flying it! Hope you find a new project or activity to get you busy again soon.

    Whoa! That is great you walked, swam, floated away and you are safe. What a loss of a plane. I was actually going to reach out to you in the next few months because i am going to start a build my self and live is San Diego. With that said knowing the loss of a plane you built your self vs a production plane is huge. Such a bummer!

    Guy,
    I echo all that has been said. I have seen it up close with pictures to remind me and it was an inspiration. So much that also described who you are and your insights and attention to detail. But as others have said. That you are OK is the detail we are so glad to hear. Been there too.
