well, I can't imagine a better place to have an engine failure than central Kansas in the Wintertime, very flat and no crops. that's my old home stomping ground. coming out of ICT for Newton. it actually looks good sitting in the field, but a flip over in a tandem with a short roll bar can kill you as has been demonstrated. the question is: why did the engine fail?
