BPF, reviewed 13 accident reports the aircraft has had and not one of them could be attributed to aircraft design, they were the usual running out of fuel, prop fell off one due inadequate maintenance, taking off with the fuel turned off, pulling excessive "g", beats ups gone wrong, losing control during low level aerobatics resulting in stall/spin, landing short, pilot not a qualified pilot. All things that could have been any aircraft, even RV's have suffered the same sort of travails.
