Sad news indeed.

7U

Engine up. When will we learn?


Perhaps, but I know of one case where the turbo in a Discus BT erected itself in a severe frontal impact that destroyed the cockpit (a winch launch cartwheel)


Pretty sobering how severe the destruction of the fwd fuselage is. Best wishes to the pilot for a full recovery.
