Jos,
What was my accusation? Fact, Rotax has had loss of power issues that have been
addressed( and some corrected) in the past. I have a close friend that is a Vice
Chairman of the NTSB and he is following this closely and providing some vital
information.  I am not saying that this aircraft (frame or engine) is 
mal-designed,
only that there may be some issues that for YOUR sake that need attention
before others are prompted to make that critical last second low altitude
decision, right or wrong. I hope that the cause of the loss of power and 
subsequent
turnback is found before anyone else is put into that situation.

Well, i give up. You can't read or don't understand English.

 Jos, 
Why do you feel the need to insult me? I am not attacking you OR your airplane,
simply concerned about the results of my research. Remember, I am the one at
loss here, not you at least yet. I do understand English and can read! I just
hope that I dont have to use those skills to read your obituary someday due to
a small engine or airframe fault that went uncorrected because you were too 
arragant
to admit that problems can exist .Do you have a vested interest in Rotax
or Europa? Your attitude sure lends itself to such. I too feel that pilot error
led to this crash but the turnback WAS precipitated by a mechanical malfunction
of some sort. This I am sure! 


Jeff,  thanks for your unqualified condolences.
I dont feel the need to cast blame here. Ken had flown this plane for 2+ years
and as per all accounts was a "10" BUILD and maintained to a T. Yes, stuff 
happens
but there is always a reason for the" stuff" and if that reason can be found
and corrected, there is little reason for the same stuff to happen again.
