The Continental 145hp is original engine but if you notice this plane only has one exaust port (C-145 has two) which leads me to think this one was converted to 180hp Lycoming.

how badly was he hurt. flipping one of those small aircraft at 70mph could be very nasty imagine. THat tiny cramped little cockpit. There's barely room to breath in these little light aircrafts. I'd take a brandnew gulf stream jet anyday over a cessna 172. MY hope is that in the future flying is made more affordable to everybody just like the family car and in the future i think people will be flying across the atlantic in their own planes and not being so dependent on comercial craft

Shock only. No physical injuries.

the cause was from pilot failure of adding carb heat in serious icing conditions at cruising power... atleast that is what the NTSB web site says ???
