Well my buyer came to pick up his new plane today. It got crashed on takeoff! My feelings are extremely hurt. This is the one airplane I should have never sold, it was our favorite. Pilot and instructor are both ok.
My wife cried most the day and said it felt like she lost a family member. I was not there so I can't say what happened. I have a pretty good idea though. 6000 foot paved runway. I was told the airplane was very slow with a tailwind when it lifted and didn't want to fly. Instead of landing on the runway they fought it all the way across the street.
Both landing gear are cleaned off and wing is broken in half.
