Any incident is bad news.

I can only hope his injuries aren't bad and that he makes a full recovery quickly!

Any other info on possible causes?

Correct Paul,

Skyhigh

As I understand it, I was the only person on site who actually saw G-100 hit the ground. I had visibility of the aircraft at just above tree height on take-off, and can I say that the news article is not 100% correct. He was not practicing landings, and he may have been 800' ASL but not 800' AGL.

I am not authorised to expand any further; however I have visited Stuart in hospital and he has 3 cracked vertibrate (maybe 4, he was having another MRI when I arrived). He has stated that he will no longer be flying his gyro (once repaired) nor his ultralight. He said you don't get two chances at cheating death.

Regards Keith

Sorry to hear the news, we hope and pray for a full recovery.

Its a bit sad to hear Stuart is giving gyro's away

Nick, I reckon its a suby 2.2. Approx 120 horses at full tap.
