Regardless, I'm adding extra ribs, going with the 12 gallon tanks instead of the 15, no wing-locker, and some sort of overridable system that limits control surface/stick travel at and above manuevering speed.

Hello William,

A least in a yahoo group from Spain, where they were members, in message 22607 from Feb 08/2008 they post that it was a 601 XL, Is in the only post (in lots of condolences and questions) that they mention about the possible airplane, but nothing else.
Hope our friend "Iberplanes" can do a more certain follow up.

I found the post doing a google search of "Jordi Conesa" the owner´s name (God Bless Him and his family).

Saludos
Gary Gower.
Flying from Chapala, Mexico.

many eyewitnesses would know a wing from a rudder or any other part in

very well, still be intact. Sounds like the canopy will not be since
they found 3 pieces of it scattered on shore. The plane was supposed to
have gone-in 700 meters from shore.

I didn't find much information in this news and I'm fluent in Spanish, the only relevant info is that there is a 2 seater that broke a wing in mid air after an explosion. I have found that other news sources that covered this accident are talking about an engine failure as the cause.
