Mercifully no one was seriously injured. Both pilot and pax walked away. Great airplane.

Is it like "Stockholm syndrome", you did not kill me so you must be good? The whole article was worded strangely. The "Modesto Bee" writer was clearly struggling with the proper words for an aviation topic. Its almost painful to read, almost as much as my long post's. The article switches to two other accidents, confusing. I am glad they are OK, but the 45 year old's fractured vertebra will not likely be peachy in 6-8 weeks, but I hope they both make a full and speedy recovery.az_gila said:Somewhat of a strange description by the passenger....gil in Tucson

"He put the plane into a steep climb and didn't level out before it stopped flying. It produced a wing stall, which caused us to turn toward the ground," Carver said. "He's a good, experienced pilot and managed to level out before we hit the ground. We skidded in."
Glad to see they both walked away, and also glad to see the tip-up roll bar does work...
