Dear Zenithaero Members,

Tom based his plane at Queen City Airport (XLL) in low wind conditions runway 25 is used for standard departures than for noise abatement follow I78 west. The air park is surrounded with developments and a long narrow stretch which is part of Allentown park system. At the time Tom was climbing out his engine failed, giving him only two choices I78 or the park system. It seems he chose the latter. Descending through the trees and into stream Tom took one hell of a beating. I will not go into details without his permission. I can say he is in a lot of pain but will pull through. I feel should any of us be in his position, support would go a long way for uplifting ones sprit.

I request that all of us who follow Zenithaero drop Tom a card to show our support.

I believe he has a 100HP Corvair engine. One video on the web interviewed a friend who mentioned possible fuel starvation. But I'd hate to speculate at this point either. I am sure Tom will share his tale soon enough. For now many prayers for you Tom. Very very very happy to hear that you survived this! Sorry that your labor of love CH750 did not. But rather it than you!

Thanks for sharing the address! A card will be sent! - Bryan

Glad he's going to pull through. Always hate to hear when something like this happens... :(. What engine was he running on his 750?
