Horrible tragedy. I didn't know him but I'm sorry for grief that his friends and family must be experiencing. I've lost 4 pilot friends in home-built crashes in the last 5 years. That's too many. I wish he had had an airframe parachute. He might still be with us. I guess he opted for Rob's extra 10 gallons of gas that gave him soooo many more options.... RonL
