I took a look at an NTSC database of accidents. I sampled fourteen months of light aircraft 2007-2008
1 Champion
3 Cirrus SR22
1 Piet Aircamper
1 RV6
2 RV7A
2 RV8
1 Sonex
1 Sorrel SNJ7

I did not check the investigated source, instead supposing that most crashes are related to
pilot error - some after engine difficulty; I wanted a sense of the difficulty of reviewing airframe failure
due to pop rivet fatigue, composite fractures, glue line failures , plastic matrix failures.
Oh yes: getting good data on that topic is not easy!
