The cracks were so bad he bought a new mount rather than fix the old one.

The plane flipped on it's back and went nose first into a field killing him and his passenger instantly. Though I'm not sure, it sounds like the passenger was a guy who had helped Leroy with some of the wiring in the plane. If that's who it was, he left a wife and three kids. Leroy was in his 60's and his kids are all grown. If I hear any newer news, I'll post it.
