Amazing that an all-electric airplane would have a single point of failure in the electrical system.
Wonder what happened ... Jim S.

I spoke with Powersport this morning regarding the exhaust system and
also got a little more information on the accident. Jim reported back to
Powersport that he lost all electrical power to the aircraft. No flaps,
radios, fuel pumps etc. This was an electrical failure not and engine
failure.

Good luck with the insurance.  I can't stand to see you move on to
another project this soon.  :)

Someone just sent this link as well.  Not much new info though.

BTW, thanks for the insurance tip Bob.  I talked to Costello about noon yesterday, and haven't received a decision yet.  Keeping my fingers crossed, as the fate of the single rotor Slingshot may depend
   

on the answer.
 

Cheers,
