Do any of the old timers remember the guy that had a canard buckle on the
top surface? I think it was Mike Quigley. He heard a loud POP and saw
paint chips flying all over the cockpit. After a big brouhaha it was
discovered that someone had been jumping on his canard to demonstrate the
stregnth of the construction method. Qiugley did manage to land OK and
subsequently went to a trigear, as well as new underwear no doubt.
