Glad the pilot is okay and hopefully the airplane will be back in the air shortly....

As always, if nobody is seriously hurt, then that truly is the main thing.

By the look of the photo, the aircraft did not overturn. It looks to me like it nosed over and that's all.

Is accurate reporting too much to ask? :roll:

Oh, that's right, accurate reporting is not nearly as exciting. :twisted:

Hopefully she'll be up and about in short order.

It appears to me that the top of the rudder is damaged so I'm guessing the airplane was upside down at some point.

It would appear to be a VW-powered homebuilt N53KW
