Wow, scary.  But from the video it looks like Mike did a superb job of putting it down without hurting anyone on the ground not himself. Clearly superior piloting skill - good job Mike!  Glad you are ok.

Yeah, that’s Mike alright. He’s walking without a limp and he bent down to get his hat out of the wreckage so it appears that he’s all good.

Mike, you did good picking a landing site. It looks like you may have clipped a wire and taken a tumble but you “saved the neighbors” and yourself. Good job.

This looks bad, however it appears that the cabin is in good shape. I found a news video shot from a news helicopter and it looks like Mike is there standing near the wreckage and pointing out things on what is left of the plane to the emergency people at the location. That would be a very good sign. If that is Mike, I am sure he will let us know what happened soon.

Oh No!  That's terrible.

Looks like everything forward of the trailing edge of the canard is gone.  Must have been a hard hit.

Please let us know of Mike's condition.
