On Saturday the 28th of October, Steve wheeled Kevin's Dragonfly
out of the hanger and was going to take it for the first flight before towing
for the day. He had had numerous flights on the plane. He had a low speed
hop/bounce take-off and then a full power shallow climb out to 100' approx where
he then dove straight into the ground at full throttle. Killed instantly.


Kevin reported that after the hop/bounce that he observed Steve waiving his
left/throttle hand and moving around in the seat.


The wreckage was taken away by the local sheriffs office. Rehtt is in the area
and will possibly have a chance to check the wreckage this weekend.
