Sam Hodges just called me to tell me about= his forced landing after take off at Paducha on 7 August.  Ed K had n= otified me the day before of the incident but I wanted to get more details from Sam before reporting.

 

Engine sputtered and quit approx 200-300 f= t after take off -  Sam stated he had time to switch from A to B contr= oller - but it made no difference.  It was a hot 97F day.  Sam had performed runup before take off and all appeared OK.

 

Sam made it to a dirt road after the engin= e quit, but the nose gear failed and the aircraft also incurred some damage= to the wing tips.  He and his spouse Rose were shaken up a bit but bascially OK except for sore muscles, etc.

 

Sam is meeting FAA guy to go over the airc= raft - back at the hangar- today. 

 

As those of you who make it to the Paducha= flyin last fall know - Sam and Rose have a beautifuly Renesis installation= in an RV-7A - a really nice looking package.

 

Sam has been working out the bugs of his i= nstallation - wrestling with temperatures primarily and this flight was to = check out the effectiveness of some of his recent changes.

 

I'm sure Sam will let us know whatever is = uncovered pertinent to the incident.

 

Just great that no one was seriously injur= ed or worst
