My vague recollection is that Jeanette Rand was contemplating a copyright infringement also and even before this accident. I don’t know if it went anywhere. Very similar to the KR2 in design but all metal. There was a thread about this at the time which is possibly now in the archives if I recollect.
There were two (maybe three) touch and go arounds, all high and fast with late touchdowns and maybe with a tail wind component. Although the pilot may be still feeling the effect psychologically, he should be reassured by the fact that it could have been so much worse……and so, some 10 years later, it is still before the courts.

I googled it and discovered it's a metal-skinned plane that's local to Australia. I thought the same thing as you when I saw it. It sure looked like a KR, so that's what piqued my interest. He and passenger sure came to an abrupt stop didn't he. Instead of now having nightmares and other fears (the more to justify his suit against the local government for allowing a ferris wheel to be so close to an airstrip), he really ought to be feeling grateful. Their angels was with them on that go-around. It's amazing that they came out of it without a scratch. Passenger had something minor but really . . . they were both incredibly lucky. Instead of hitting the ferris wheel's structure with the cockpit, they sailed between it, the wings breaking the plane's momentum. Lucky, lucky, lucky.
