I guess you didn’t really knead the job anyway.

Built overseas. Was the prototype, or was that to just have been the production units? The article says "which *will* be built in China".

UUUHH, Article say pilot land 400 yards from plane.
That means pilot was wearing a chute, probably required for test porpoises. sp on porpoise.
If aircraft was out of control, very difficult to exit, especially with a chute on, unless the doors were removed before flight.

Yes, and I should have read further down where there were multiples of what I said long before I said it. Oh well, I will definitely be interested in the cause of the crash.

Didn’t think that test pilots (for small general aircraft prototypes) took parachutes up witht hem.

Did those test porpoises help him get away from the killer well?

“Didn’t think that test pilots (for small general aircraft prototypes) took parachutes up witht hem.”
Depends on what they are doing. Certain atitudes require a parachute and there may be rules for experimental aircraft of that type.
