Not exactly a nose gear failure...
Got the following email from Russ Daves this afternoon:

Talked to Bob Kaufman a few minutes ago. Failure was due to the elevator pushrod tube coming apart at the bolt on the WD1010 control column. Nut was missing but it could have fallen under the floor.
Bob and Sidney are fine, just a few bruises.
Bob lost complete elevator control on landing at Las Vegas.

The most important thing is that both occupants got out with just minor injuries...this could have been so much worse.
