REFLECTOR: Velocity down

[John Abraham]

Most of the information is correct except the aircraft has an IO-550. Duane was actually out at his Dallas home so he drove over to assess the aircraft to see how the gear "collapsed". 

Without saying too much, you can fill in the blank, the gear doors are not scratched and do broken gear legs.
