Another one
On the AIG salvage sheet there is another RV9a that flipped. What drew my attention was the failure of the tip up roll bar. See the May 21 posting.

Is this the one that was for sale?
PS.. Not gonna share the details, but another one flipped over about a week ago (outside the US)... heartbreaking to see the photos of it.. luckily everyone is OK and the damage is relatively minor for the type of incident.

The same thing stuck out to me. The reporter probably asked "Are any charges going to be filed?" Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.
I'm glad Andy is OK.

That one looks like it hit much harder than most that have flipped. Looks like this was much more than your typical rollout pogo!
