4. Also - unless there was some other flammable material in the top of the fuselage amidships - where the fire flared up considerably about 5 minutes into the 2nd video - it would appear that composite fuselages flammability might be a concern.
Excellent post overall.

Not sure what you mean but I'm pretty sure that the trip-7 does not have a composite fuse. Composites are said to be used in the tails (h/v) and the floor beams.
