HI guys. Word on the street is... Plane was built several years ago by
Rick Cambell in VA, had hundreds of hours on it. Powered by a Franklin
220 hp Cyl. These guys were apparently getting used to an 801 and
something went terribly wrong. If they were practicing engine outs
they didn't realize the 801 has a glide ratio of about 4-1, on a good
day.... From the looks of the wreckage it appears they had plenty of
fuel on board to burn it up so completely,, Godspeed to those two.
