My thanks to the builder of this plane for posting the video of the landing. He walked away from the crash and so it's a piloting job well done. I'd also be curious to hear other ways this plane could have been brought down.

I've been partly following this guy's build on FB, particularly because of the engine. I believe the plane only had 4 hours of flying time before the crash.

I wonder what your thoughts are about the cause of the engine quitting based on the way it behaved minutes before it quit.
