HI guys. Word on the street is... Plane was built several years ago by
Rick Cambell in VA, had hundreds of hours on it. Powered by a Franklin
220 hp Cyl. These guys were apparently getting used to an 801 and
something went terribly wrong. If they were practicing engine outs
they didn't realize the 801 has a glide ratio of about 4-1, on a good
day.... From the looks of the wreckage it appears they had plenty of
fuel on board to burn it up so completely,, Godspeed to those two.

Do you know if there was extensive engine or fuel system work done in the
recent restoration work reported in the media?

Had it recently undergone restoration, (as stated in the media report) and
perhaps had work done to the engine and or the fuel system?

Indeed, Godspeed to the occupants.
