So sorry to hear about your off-field landing. The mystery now is what was going on with the engine.
Sounds like something similar with Jim Morehead's plane. His wasn't an off-field landing but rather, from what I remember reading, he departed the runway on roll-out and the nose wheel dug in and flipped the plane over on its back. Sounds like MJ built a good strong turtle deck, allowing you to crawl out. In Morehead's case, he and his instructor had to have bystanders flip the plane back on its wheels before they could get out - that might have been because there were two people in the plane. Nose gear on KR's seem like they can present this problem when on soft surfaces, at least in some cases. Certainly not the first time this has happened Craig. Now you get to take down your Corvair and put it back together. Use Mark Langford's Corvair material when you get to that point. Durnit . . .
