Quotes:
“The accident was not survivable. The aircraft structure failed as a result of excess loads being applied; the breakage appears to have occurred at the most vulnerable point of the wing."
“The evidence is incomplete, but the aircraft was probably operating at, or close to, its weight and balance limits.”
"In May 2005 he bought the light aircraft, the Zenair G-YOXI as a quick build kit from Czech Aircraft Works."
"Half of the plane, including the wings and the fuselage, had been pre-constructed in the factory."
Just sharing some information with fellow builders in our group here. Forgive me for beating this horse or kicking up a hornet's nest.
I am currently working on my 601's wings, and remain confident in the design when operated withing normal parameters.
Didn't Zenith cut their ties to CZAW a while back...?

And the most important part...

Zenith and Czech Aircraft Works have parted company... seemed to be a mutual deal, since CZAW was designing and producing there own planes.

Yes, but . . . I wouldn't have chosen that way to describe the
|
break-up. CZAW stopped making Zodiacs around the same time as they
introduced their own line of airplanes including one similar in
outward appearance to the Zodiac. They also introduced the Parrot and Mermaid.
