REFLECTOR: Accident/Incident

What bad news!  I have not heard from John - but he recently sent an email and photos of his completed project - and was so happy to have finally finished building and now flying.  John had a Crossflow Subaru (300hp??) engine.  He had a devil of a time getting everything straight with Crossflow - and at one time was considering abandoning the Subaru engine for something else.  I know nothing about the incident.  I had hoped to talk with John about his experiences with the Crossflow - because Crossflow has a terrible reputation for delivering products that do not work; backed by poor customer service.  If the forced landing is because of the engine, I'm sure John will have stories to tell.
