My heart goes out to you Phil. Glad you are all right. It takes true skill to walk away from a major incident. I know how you feel, having crashed my KR2 last May. Best thing I did was go flying the next weekend, took a check ride and then off in to the wide blue yonder. Mine should be ready to fly again an about 3 or so months.
