Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Remos Nose Gear Collapse

That was a major stall from rounding out too high, resulting in a very hard landing.
The long drift off the center line was from the stall.

From the looks of things, that plane will need a prop, engine, front end, and a whole
lot of dollars to get back into the air (safely) again.

Too bad, it is/was a very nice looking plane.
