A friend of mine and his girlfriend were returning from the Bahamas IFR in an RV-9 with the Subie engine and redrive. He had about 350 hours on the plane and engine at the time. He was vectored by ATC to a 12 mile final at 3K feet. Suddenly the engine revved up and the prop stopped. He reported Mayday and glided into a field that was covered with brush about 2-3 feet high. The front gear caught some brush and flipped him upside down. You can see the condition of the front gear in the picture. Neither of them was seriously injured. I think he might have been unconscious for a short time, but the problem was that they both were drenched in gasoline and with the plane upside down, they were unable to get out. They were in this condition for about a half hour until a helicopter landed and rescue folks cut a hole in the side of the canopy to drag them out of the plane. This crash happened at the end of an almost 100 mile overwater flight and within 3 minutes of touchdown. There are many reasons that they should have died in this crash and yet only had minor injuries! Don't let friends fly with Subie redrives!
