Hello Jay,
On the other side, IF there HAS to be a (Design) Cause for the accidents (as most of you, and some "competitors" want us to think).
How do you explain so many XL's flying, so many hours, WITHOUT accidents?
The prototype one of them... I wonder how many hours of XCountry, to and from, fly ins plus hours of local demo flights and still flying. I am sure they had to go though some severe turbulence at least twice a year in those long trips...
We all know for sure THIS airplanes are never "trailered in" 
Flying my 701, by the way, I have flown though really severe turbulence, need to tight up the seat belts, most time just under gross. I just slow to 70 mph and never run out of controls, or be concerned about the integrity of my airplane.
When calm wind, I fly betwen 83 to 95 mph, depends in my cruise altitude in cross country flights (from 8,500 to 11,500 ft ASL).
When sight seeing over safe places (with plenty of emergency landing areas near) our flights are about 500 ft AGL.
Sure will be the same when I finish building the XL.
Saludos

Jay,
I understand your very human need for an explanation. We all want to find out what caused these accidents. This is particularly true if one cause is responsible. Actually, we want to learn from all accidents, particularly fatal ones. But that doesn't mean that the need for an answer justifies grabbing at whatever theory comes along and holding that up as the true cause. We need to proceed on facts and at this time, we have no choice but to realize that we don't have the facts to conclusively explain what has happened despite multiple extensive investigations. You need to realize that we may never have the ultimate answer despite all our efforts.

Okkay, fine. How do YOU explain the inflight breakups? Bear in mind that builder and pilot error cannot explain every 601XL inflight breakup.
