A Katana Xtreme, N40440, apparently lost power shortly after take off
from the Bend Oregon airport, made a turn and hit an empty building,
killing the pilot. *This is very preliminary info and I’m sorry it
isn’t more complete. *The motor glider was based in California. *My
condolences to the pilot’s friends and family. *If anybody has any
more info, please post it here.
