Yep. Video this morning. Looks like a tricycle moveable wing setup. Rainy Saturday so I expect YES to winds.

No details really yet but the press is glomming onto the experimental status clearly not knowing that doesn’t mean unsafe. https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/gila-bend-municipal-airport-plane-crash-kills-1-injures-another

I’ve seen plenty of people say cellular isn’t needed, but it’s pretty neat to update stuff the moment you land. I’m for it if you’re taking it in and out. Panel mounted I guess buyers choice?

Nigerian bank ceo.

So to sum up. Missed airport (known). Engine issue (known). Fuel exhaustion from missed tank change (guess). Spatially disoriented during all these events from task over saturation (guess). This sounds like the cascade of events no one sees coming but should.

Probably couldn’t do something like this in a plane, huh? https://www.crutchfield.com/p_891470354/weBoost-Drive-Reach-RV.html

If you have to write that it says everything. These are instruments that literally mean life or death. I would spend an extra $3000 and upgrade to the Garmin. I’ve flown AV-30 without the magnetometer, and the precession was terrible. Nice UI tho.

I just buy whatever six seat I was interested in if that’s your ultimate goal. Five years from now you will have fixed everything the way that you want or added things that you like. And that would be the most proficient airplane for you to fly that many people in. Cherokee 6 I think? I’ve...

I still contend that Rotax may win the long game just based on this alone. Engines are reaching the 200 hp mark now.

What does the engine “rolled back” mean? Isn’t this a turboprop? Fatal SD plane crash was caused by sudden engine failure, report says https://www.foxnews.com/us/fatal-sd-plane-crash-caused-sudden-engine-failure-report-says

They talk about that in the tv news report as well. An impossible turn scenario is really sad in this instance because it looks like a desert landing would’ve been completely doable.

https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/3-people-killed-in-single-engine-plane-crash-in-williams This forum has 4 different posts about PA-28 crashes going. What’s that about.

Or good. He survived. No one else hurt. Planes can be replaced.

Aw geez. Lmao. I belief the Czech SportCruiser ejection option is a cushion with a spring under it maybe? Glad the guy is ok though!

landing gear looks flattened. And “A photo showed the plane appeared to missing a wing.”. Indeed. There has to be an interesting story for this one.

makes sense to me. Rotax appears to be about 10k cheaper for the same or better turbo power.

Is there a cost to the shop to get an STC approved by FAA?

Rotax 915iS is 186.5 pounds O-200 is 190 lbs 3.5 lbs of ballast and it seems like a doable option. $35-38K Rotax new 3 gph at 100 knots so I'd bet faster at 5.3 GPH https://generalaviationnews.com/2019/03/04/rotaxs-powerful-new-915is/ $70k for an O-320 new assuming new Best economy 5.3 GPH at...

They would be telling about the terrain as well. This whole thing sucks. A terrible alignment of bad luck and timing that even a lifetime of flying expertise couldn’t overcome.
