ATSB PRELIMINARY report into the RV-7A in-flight breakup

It was chilling seeing the flight path before the in flight break up. This another sad result of a VFR pilot venturing into IMC
 
Report may incorrectly calls out very low airspeeds . Those should probably be ground speeds unless the data was recovered from the aircraft recorder (I did not see they listed a source for the flight data). With the meteorological conditions those maybe quite different.

From the report “ To date, the ATSB has … and examined retrieved data from aircraft components, radar and portable electronic devices.”
Also, wx was considered.
