Yes, tragic news. He was testing the new Yuneec E1000 on its maiden
flight and it crashed into a lake next to the factory. My thoughts are
with his family at this time, he was a really nice guy !

I bought a K8 from Martin many years ago, i travelled from England through
the night and arrived at his parents house, Martin had a
workshop/construction room upstairs, as i arrived tired first thing in the
morning, after driving through the night we were greeted by a van with a
flat tyre outside and sawdust up the stairs.. coffee was offered, but
sadly the milk was green and lumpy.. however his enthusisum and nature
made this not a problem.. he popped out for milk then took us to see the
K8 which was stunning. i bought it instantly.. a couple of years later i
bought a salto WL from him
His work was always top notch , a delight to know, a sad loss
