'Just in case you didn't know. Those case rings that are located on the lower front of the main gear legs, are for towing....only. A gentleman that I know, used them for tie-downs. That was the last time that the airplane flew. I had heard that some one was attempting to repair it. All 4 spars were broken, and the top of the cabin had been crushed about 4 inchs. The metal parts that is.

A high wind hit the front of the airplane causing the main struts to extend fully. This imparted a large increase in the angle of attack to the unmanned airplane. Both rings snapped off in a heart beat, and over she went.
