Long day. It was very healing to pick up tools and just work. Draco is in a trailer on its way home with me now. Thanks to some great friends like Cory robin, Ron and a couple others that showed up to support me we got it done. The damage is worse than I thought but it’s ok. I’m Happy to be here charging forward. Back To Work 👍🤠 @chandrapatey

My heart hurts for you and all the hours you put into Draco...She was a beautiful plane. So glad you and the wife were able to walk away with only a damaged finger nail...and a bit of pride!

Can’t wait to see a DRACO 2 in the making. Glad you’re all ok though that’s the main thing.

Mike. I have followed all of your Draco build and modifications and flying escapades. I was very disappointed to see what happened to Draco and very happy to see that you, your wife and friend walked away from it unscathed. Please rebuild it. I know it’s easy to say but your work and skill is inspirational and if anyone can do it you will. It would be great to hear about what you are up to with Draco. Cheers from Australia. David B

Monks spend hours, days, weeks bent over creating a sand Mandala. Grain by grain, with great attention to detail, design and color. They destroy it. Why? Because the underlying message of the Mandala ceremony is that nothing is permanent. Nothing. All things are in flux, it says, beautiful but ephemeral, moving but temporary, a plateau but not a summit. 2019 A.D. (After Draco). 🕊

Your adventures are all of your followers with this plane. Most unique stol plane ever to be built. Rebuild? Another project? Glad you and your wife are safe. Stupid crazy wind.
