Paul,
Glad to hear that you survived! The pain and suffering can be made bearable with the knowledge that you can go back to enjoying your love of flying. I'm speaking for everyone, but when you wish to share your experiences, we'd all like to get the details. We can all learn from each others experiences!
Speedy recovery,
Mack

When I had my first EFATO (Engine Failure After Take Off), I was shaken, luckily not injured. I sent an SMS text to my friend in the Air Force, an Air Commodore explaining what had happened... he immediately texted back 'Congratulations'.... I called him and he explained.... 'most people dont get to talk about an EFATO....

I therefore continue the tradition and wish you 'Congratulations', speedy recovery and good luck with the next aircraft project!
