Fatalities for sure will get reported. But many times the pilot of an
experimental (or antique) will put his bird down in a pasture for whatever
reason, and just deal with the problem and get it back out of there as fast
as possible... especially if he's not squeaky clean legal. And usually he
CAN get it back out... a Kolb (or a Cub for that matter) will handle a
rough field landing far better than, say, a Cessna 172 or a Cherokee.

The problem is that I'm also getting the government they deserve.

Dana and all,
You are correct. An engine failure with no injuries and mimimal or no
damage to the airframe does not require a report. Been there done that.
FAA said no report required.
