I know the NTSB takes a year to publish a cause for accidents, but do we

know any info about Dan's.  I am not looking for speculation, just curious

if any thing suspicious was found.

The only information I know of was posted by Jan Eggenfellner on the 

Eggenfellner newsgroup on 11/9/2007:



Here is his words:

------------------

Until we know more about Dan and his accident we all agree that he was a 

wonderful person and good pilot.  Anything else is speculation and I 

will not have it.  I will offer the little that I do know however.  So 

far the only news are from the video where the engine was described as 

running and the airplane in a slight banked turn.  I also know that an 

aileron trim was worked on to make the airplane fly straight along with 

moving the batteries from the aft part of the airplane, to the front 

tunnell area, the night before.  This flight was suposed to be the test 

flight to confirm the workings of the changes made the night before, 

prior to flying with more people onboard.  I have not yet been contacted 

by the FAA or NTSB regarding any possible engine issue.



I have had requests from some that feel we should delete Dan from our 

web pages.  Not at all in agreement with this and would actually like to 

selebrate his life, smiles and happy personality for all to 

see.  However, this is just my opinion and I will remove some pictures.

There is a lot to be learned from Dan's experiences, but I'm not sure

if the group is ready to hear some of the details yet.  Everything

in regards to the actual crash is speculation, and I doubt that other

than when the NTSB downloads all the EFIS/EIS data log that there is

any way anything 100% conclusive can ever be stated with certainty.

Even the logged data is just as unlikely to produce answers.

But, there is still a bit of information that is what I'd consider

great background info.  The question is, is it too early to discuss

at this time, do we need to wait months for a full NTSB report first?

On one hand, it seems that some "lessons learned" may be better to

hear while the pain in your gut is still fresh.  On the other, there

are people who just can't stand anything but solid evidence like

"XYZ nut was removed prior to flight and PQR part was found separated

from airplane and recovered 1 mile from impact site".

I'm just having problems coming to terms with when is the right time

for us.
