We'll have to wait until the investigation results are out but the things that usually kill experienced pilots is the simple stuff such as a stall and spin-in close to the ground.
Hopefully there will be some GPS traces to help investigators figure out what went wrong. Does the ASH-25 EB28 have the same limitation as the Nimbus 4's where you can exceed VNE or overstress the airframe if you try to recover from a vertical nose down attitude?

I would like to see a glider which you cannot overstress during vertical nosedive.... SG-38? Space shuttle?

I meant can the ASH-25 EB28 recover from an accidental spin/wing drop situation (where the nose is pointing at the ground), without exceeding VNE or over stressing the airframe?

Wouldn't get certification if it couldn't.
