Folks,

I have received a lot of questions as to what I plan on doing with the plane. I am going under the assumption that this plane is a total loss. It will not be rebuilt or anything. I want to find out what happened!  Paul was cremated and so will his plane. I had visited with Paul, talked to him several times, and he had agreed to help me with my FIRST flight. Paul and I had become friends. When Carol informed us of his death, I stood in my carport looking at my Cozy MKIV with chainsaw in hand.  If Paul, with his abilities as an ex test pilot, couldn't do this then how am I going to pull this off. I, I repeat, I need to know why this happened. If I don't receive any help then so be it!  This is going to happen anyway. Richard Riley has agreed to help from afar, and the possibility of a crash investigator visiting is being worked out.  If anyone else is interested in helping I would greatly appreciate it. I need as much input from experts as is possible. His family could also use some assistance. Carol was going to have to pay to have for the planes disposal. Now she doesn't and she will be receiving some salvage as well from me. All I will get is piece of mind! Maybe I can help out some other flyers in the process.

Thank yo all for the kind words!
Bob
