Narrative:
An experimental Quad City Challenger II, kit built, sustained substantial damage following an accident at Noah’s Ark Airport (06MO), Waldron, Missouri.

The airplane bounced back into the air, came back down to the left, and struck the ground again. The fuselage and the left wing sustained substantial damage. The pilot sustained a broken leg.
