As a motor glider operator myself, some more details on this machine
would be useful. Forgive my ignorance but I have not heard of a Carat
motor glider. Who makes it, what are its dimensions and other
characteristics, etc.?

Regarding this tragic accident, in my syndicate we always fly with
parachutes and when at a wave site we always have oxygen.

Details on Carat at: http://www.ams-flight.si/ SOARING magazine had a
recent complimentary review. Tragic accident.
