Pretty neat home built aircraft.
He called is a perfect landing, but after landing he hit a tree.
Pretty spunky old guy.
Looked up the specs on the aircraft, only 18 ft. wingspan. Pretty small, my son flies a 3 meter R/C sailplane that is about 1/2 that wing span.

Any landing you can walk away from is a perfect landing.

hummel designs have been around for a long time - great little kit planes.

Wow, from the source — “Miami News” — I thought I had gone back in time. The Miami News stopped publication 20 years ago, leaving the Herald as Miami’s only daily. The source here is actually the local NBC affiliate, which is called “NBC 6” (or sometimes even by its call letters, WTVJ), not “Miami News.”
