KR heads, My words weren't even cold when I got the following news. The first customer built Whisper motor glider which was built in record time was groundlooped during taxi testing. The test pilot got airborne unexpectedly, got a fright, cut power, stalled it and came down hard. Once sideways, its leading wheen rim broke and the gear dug in. the gear leg was ripped off, wing tip damaged and the prop broken. Lucky the Whisper is a strong little plane, it was repaired in record time and is apparently undergoing further "taxi testing".
