AW&ST today had a small article that a Lancair piloted by Gerand
Schkolnk crashed moments after takeoff during the Sun and Fun AirShow.

He was director of Supersonic Technology Programs at Gulfstream.

Anyone have any data on accident other than what AW&ST had?

Tnx for info Ron.

To comment about the 180 if engine out after take off.

You cannot make a level turn, engine out, back to field. No way and
better believe it.

If you do not have enough altitude to make a diving 180 degree turn
back to field, don't try it.

If you are not comfortable to make a diving turn close to ground don't
try it.

If you believe in probabilities, then limit yourself to a max of 45
degree turn either right or left to miss any immovable object.

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS AND WHAT YOU DO,FLY THE AIRCRAFT AND DO NOT
STALL IT.

Fly safe and survive.
