Citabria 7KCAB Ground Loop

[Dave Kaiser]

I have a tailwheel experienced friend who borrowed my airplane today to give his mother a ride. On landing the mother unintentionally applied the right brake which resulted in a 40kt ground loop. Wings did not hit but the landing gear bent and the tailwheel and spring where destroyed along with bent longerons.
It is insured and my question to the forum is does anyone know of someone in the Missouri, West Tennessee, West Kentucky area that can make quality repairs to a Citabria? Anyone have an idea of how long of a project it will be to do the repair work?

Roger,
Thanks for the information. Insurance company is sending out an adjuster to look at the damage sometime next week. I hope it is repairable.

Thanks,
