Bristol Scout N5419, built by Leo Opdycke of Poughkeepsie, New York, made its first flight on July 12, 1983 from Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome. Leo flew it for 25 min, and found it “stable and straight and an absolute joy to fly”. Unfortunately magneto failure led to a forced landing in the woods, causing “substantial damage". The pilot was unhurt. Lets hope it's back in the air before too long.
