Greetings If you read back on all the posts regarding the ZS-UKU incident; all the information we have available has been posted (See KRNet Archives)
There is also a local South African forum where the incident is being discussed and the pertinent info has been shared there too : https://avcom.co.za/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=244767 Essentially: * Sakkie built and owned ZS-UKU (Stock KR2 registered 1987) * Sakkie was fatally injured along with the pax in an incident resulting from flat spin in a *different* KR that was being test flown * ZS-UKU was not involved in any accidents prior to this incident (that we are aware of) * Neville Ferreria was fatally injured 28 October when ZS-UKU fell * Neville was an aerobatic pilot well liked, accomplished and known for getting the most out of aircraft * Whether Neville was doing aerobatic maneuvers on the incident flight is not known (although many *assume* he was) * It *appears* that the main (forward) spar broke under the seat resulting in a wing separation That is pretty much a summary of what is publically known at the moment and we eagerly await the SACAA incident investigation report As has been stated here; broken spar is a very rare cause and should not impact your desire to complete and fly your KR-2[S]; mine is progressing albeit very slowly :) You are more likely to experience engine or fuel issues, so I will invest additional energy there :) PS: Subject edited Regards שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם (Shalom aleichem) Michael L Griffin mileg...@gmail.com Fax : 086 733 0650 Cel : +27 83 462 0462 Please consider the environment before printing this email He who play in root, eventually kill tree. ________________________________ -Please see LIST RULES and KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html -Change list delivery options at https://list.krnet.org/list/krnet.list.krnet.org/ Affinity List Info Board -Search recent KRnet Archives at https://list.krnet.org/empathy/list/krnet.list.krnet.org/ -Search John Bouyea's decades of archive at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/
