Well that's disappointing. I attended the factory class that ended right before this accident... I think they must have been in the class although I didn't remember them specifically. It came as a shock when I got home and heard about the accident.. The pilot was not an inexperienced guy. I was really hoping we would get a concrete cause to the accident... Still wonder if they did something ( low gee? Auto? ) that went bad, or whether there was simply a mechanical issue with the aircraft that took a few hours to manifest itself?
