The gear struck the top of a tree and the aircraft pitched down and impacted the ground, sustaining substantial damage to the fuselage and tail.

I just found a newspaper picture dated 11/66 of Rev Robert Bryan landing a Helio on a New York Pier and realized it has to be c/n 1208 as N269E which be bought in August of 1966.
I will open it at the top of the queue above.
and looked up the liink to the Manhatan fly in and found a picture that i hadn't identified before for some reason. I'll post it here and at the rev Robert Bryan post
