Lost a LG. I came out unscathed except for a loose glue joint on the CF Skiis.

We should have adjusted the needles Lots of warning but too excited to fly, LOL

Good news is I got in some serious stress testing on the new CF Skiis and super stocked how well they stood up! Brad has some video of the stress test, LOL!
Chicken Little...it's raining GP engines!!

You don't say!

Seems things are going wrong all round the world with GP-61's

Sucks guys,..sorry to hear...angst bites us all at times. Brad hope the repair isn't too bad...any repair sucks though!
