Hi Jack, there are a few details listed in a post below, including an article with some info on what happened. I cannot begin to tell you how horrible I feel about this. The Hughes H-1 was in my mind one of the most beautiful aircraft ever designed and flown. When I first heard about Jim Wright's replica being built, I was overcome with joy at the thought of seeing that beautiful shape slice through the air someday. Though I never did get to see it fly, I was able to see it on the ground at Oshkosh this past weekend (thanks again Tim), and what a gorgeous sight she was.... A memory I will cherish forever. Jim
