Default Rare fatal CH-801 crash

Previously, I knew of only one other CH-801 crash resulting in
fatalities. Here's one that just happened, and as far as I can tell, had
they been doing testing "by the book" I think only one fatality would
have resulted, all else being unchanged:

Gary Mosley was an acquaintance & the brother of a friend of mine. He
was an A/P & ran the local airport.

For once, an article about an aviation subject was fairly accurate. And
not to beat up on you too much, Jim, but you misread the article &
started an inaccurate ugly rumor about homebuilts & homebuilders.

The plane was not in its phase one testing. They had a power failure,
topped a tree & flipped into the ground, where it caught fire.
