            Kicked a rod out and landed in the desert. Ripped the tail wheel assembly out and damaged the scoop, lower fuselage, and horizontal.

                      Looks like a well-loved dog chew toy. Interesting how the small end came out with the piston and wrist pin cleanly separated from it.
