Mini-500 Comes to Grief in Hover Accident

Pilot OK

The Mini-500 heli, built and owned by Walter Kotwun of Phoenix (AZ) was destroyed in a hover accident. The report notes, fortunately, that the pilot escaped injury. We've lost count of how many of these things have come to grief...

(We do not know if Kotwun was aboard.)
