Near-vertical ascent accident -- any news?/Hurricane Katrina/gear problem

[big al 08]

don't have any news; but last month i refurbished the interior and with the seat out came across crack adjustment bar and drift pins working themselves out.a few years the drift pins sheared off and the back part of the seat fell flat. just let go and trimed manually all was ok; but it sucked on landing. i think there is more problems with the seat adjustment linkage than the rails; but who knows as i partake in to much agave.
