Not a bad place for a forced landing. All the perfectly straight country roads a guy could wish for.

"I'm fine. The aircraft is down in a corn field. We're working on the logistics of getting it out and on a truck. The redrive had some kind of problem that I had not experienced before. Need more investigation to find out why but in the grand scheme we weren't planning on using that design going forward anyway. A bit of a set back but you know me well enough by now to know that I'll keep pushing on with the program."
It's an unconfirmed, second hand report, but it sure sounds like Peter, so take it FWIW. He posted in on Youtube, so I would call it confirmed.

It seems fitting for it to be disassembled and trucked the rest of the way to wherever it's going. I still can't imagine what use anyone has for the airframe.
