Thank you for sharing your story with us Allen. I am very glad you were not injured. Airplanes can be replaced. My condolences on the damage to or loss of your airplane.
With your permission, I would like to post your story on our site in the articles area, so that it will get the widest readership possible. I am sad to say that this is the second time I have heard a story like this relating to Skymasters, with the same result. Many pilots are not aware of how much fuel the startup/taxi/takeoff and climb cycle uses.
Again, thanks for your well written story, and good luck replacing your bird.
Kevin
