1st thing that popped into my mind was John Denver.

The cause of the accident remains under investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board said, noting that a preliminary report would be completed in a few weeks. A probable cause report, however, will take between one to two years.

“Finally done putting this thing together. Sure was nice of the manufacturer to include these extra wing fasteners.”

Darwin’s observations remain relevant.

It sounds somewhat crass to say at this time, but at least 2 MIT graduates on board? They must have been hard at work studying DEI while they were enrolled as students.

Ferrier, an Australian known in the experimental aircraft community, was an MIT graduate with a degree in aerospace engineering.

Sounds like it was a motor problem. I was wondering if the plane flew before.

I believe this was a battery powered aircraft.

There was one of these Cozy MK aircraft at Osh Kosh last year. I looked it over and it was really an interesting airplane. I told a pilot buddy that I would like to fly one someday.
That same Cozy I was looking at crashed after leaving Osh and refueling. Crashed on takeoff. Cause unknown (to me).
Yea I ‘m not getting in one.
I’ll stay in my Vans RV6!

I built a Velocity SE RG and only have to finish one aileron and one rudder before I mount the engine and start on the avionics. I will finish in a few weeks after I take my 172 in for the annual and have extra room in the hangar.

Inadvertent IMC after take off. Get thereitis and lack of skills claims 4 more lives. Half Moon bay weather conditions are not to be trifled with in light planes with questionable skills.

They may have needed specialist supervision to ensure they followed the specifications.

My pilot, 2 engine, would fly us to Auburn,Tahoe, etc. But he would not fly to Half Moon Bay because all the pilots said it was haunted. This was in the 1980’s.
