Really sad story. However, I thought it was only slightly amusing that, in the write-up, they said that this was a homebuilt airplane that he built yesterday. Someone probably told the writer that he had COMPLETED it yesterday, and, as usual, this was misinterpreted.

I had read the sentence in the "just built yesterday" way, but also "a plane he built, and had just flown yesterday" way.
Truly sad that the 701 has had it's first fatality, but also it is truly amazing that it has taken twenty years for it to happen.

It had to be a major problem to control the plane, because the lift and the avility to land on small areas of the 701 is out of question.
on the video the planes seems to have all the parts together, so it was not a missing "wing" or something.
Truly sad.

Not quite the first to result in a fatality
http://www.bst.gc.ca/en/reports/air/1994/a94q0114/a94q0114.asp
However the Canadian accident occurred to an aircraft not constructed within the TP10141E compliance, so does not really relate to a 701 problem.
I keep a copy of these occurrences to be aware and avoid situations that could easily happen if we miss something.

If he had just completed the project and went flying
then we can assume he didn't follow the rules of
flight testing before taking off, fast taxiing, lift
off check controls, etc. There's another thing that
concerns me here also. Was he "Buzzing"? I would
think that he didn't have much flying experience to
just take the plane off and fly around to see how
much he can push its limits. Just seems like a case
of carelessness to me. Thats just my opinion......
Do not archive....
