It looks like Tom Campau's "Mystical Power" went down after departing from Reno. The engine came apart and seized up. He got it down but tore the gear and wings off in the process. In his own words. "Mystical Power is now spare parts."

Boy thats a real shame. A buddy of mine was involved with that airplane when it was being built. I remember seeing pictures of it while under construction, & it was a fine looking machine. My buddy was supposed to fly the plane at Reno once it was finished, but he got killed in another "6" before Mystical Power was finished. Glad to hear Tom is ok-thats most important thing.
Regards
Robbie

I know it was (still is) on Barnstormers... May have
been on eBay as well (some parts from the same
source were on there over the last few weeks).

I'm also glad to hear Tom is OK.
