Ed,

Very happy to hear of Sam's successful engine-out landing.  While there was
damaged sheet metal, and frayed nurves, by landing straight ahead they were
able to walk away.  Good job Sam!  Please let us know what you find as to
the cause.

It sure would be nice to have data-logging capabilities on the EC-2/EM-2.

Mark
