Hi Kip,
    I don't know anything about the incident, but 424EA  is the hybrid 
Lightning (Esqual fuselage with the Lightning wing and 80 HP  engine).  It had
been 
just recently sold to a guy from Crossville.  I  gave the new owner some stick

time in my Esqual and it was obvious he would need  a thorough review before 
soloing his new airplane.  The new buyer had not  flown much recently and 
needed more instruction than Nick could give to get him  ready to solo 424EA. 

Nick flew with him several times at Shelbyville, but  an instructor from 
Crossville was to complete the checkout.  How did you  find about this recent incident?
Blue Skies,
Buz

Local pilot survives plane crash

A Cumberland County man walked away from this plane
crash at Crossville Memorial Airport Saturday,
suffering a serious head laceration and complaining of
back pain. The crash occurred around 8:20 a.m. near
the end of the runway when pilot Robert Parsons Jr.,
34, Don Kerley Rd., encountered strong headwinds. The
downdraft slammed his plane back onto the side of the
runway, according to Crossville fire and police
officials. Parsons was flying a home-built JN4D Jenny
Replica single-engine bi-plane.

this is all I have found so far still looking....
