| Subject: | TV news reports 601XL down in Utah |
Local stations are reporting a small aircraft down and at least one reported
it was a 601XL (the reporter held up a picture of the XL from the Zenith web
site). From the video I saw it certainly could be a 601. I believe the
latest report said the pilot (and sole occupant) was dead. It will obviously
be quite some time before we know anything about this crash but we have had
record high winds here yesterday and today.

"Small plane crashes on Antelope Island
March 3rd, 2009 @ 6:22pm
ANTELOPE ISLAND STATE PARK -- A small plane has crashed landed on Antelope
Island. Rescue teams are on their way to the crash site, which is in a
ravine.
Lt. Brad Wilcox with the Davis County Sheriff's Office said the plane was a
Zodiac, a type of homemade plane. He said the plane crashed in rugged and
steep terrain on Frary Peak.
He said it appears the plane is still in one piece.
According to Wilcox, the pilot was the only person on board. He could not
confirm the person's condition.
The Utah Wing of the Civil Air Patrol with the help of the Davis County
Sheriff's Office began looking for the plane around 1:45 p.m. when the plane
did not return.
The Sheriff's office says the plane had been missing since this morning.
Lt. Sue Chamberlin of the Civil Air Patrol says the plane took off from
Tooele and did not land at its appointed time. "

I'm pretty certain it is N3683X built by Dennis Stephenson of Midvale, UT.
Same blue and white color scheme in the news videos and this YouTube video:

I don't know Dennis and I don't know who was flying the crash plane. My
thoughts go out to the victim's family and friends.

More news from Salt Lake Tribune:
http://www.sltrib.com/News/ci_11828411
Identifies pilot and Zodiac. The pilot was identified as Kirk Babbit
of Stansbury Park.
My take on the video previously linked is the wings folded.

You know this may seem callous but, is the diehard XL guys going to start
saying this guy too was over controlling, overstressed his airframe...or
maybe by chance it is starting to show another accident with the XL that
something is really wrong here.

The airspeed indicator had a white arc top speed of 132 MPH, a green arc of 143
and a Vne of 177. You can tear the flaps and wings off an XL at 132 with the
flaps extended not to mention much of any maneuver at 142 or smooth cruise in
the 170s. The videos show the flaps extended often, and does not credit the
pilot with the build. He may not have had knowledge of the design limitations.
That is what those marking are for.
