Well, a couple hours ago I did something that I havent done in the 17 odd years i've been flying.......
Came in to land at lookout after a short flight in some funky air with strong south. Got a few turns in something a little ragged about 100 over, and then it fell apart and I commited to landing. Came in fast lined up right where I wanted to be, then I had nothing flared and couldn't even get my feet beneath me. pancaked in fairly gently and get up to discover I bent the left downtube.......
so........knowing that any bad landing comes with a plethora of excuses on how its not my fault, i need some........
also i need a new downtube
