RV-7A crash near Norman, OK
A buddy told me about an RV crash today in Norman, OK. According to the FAA registry, the plane was powered by a Rotax engine? Anyone heard anything about it? Here's a link to the news story he sent me:

That's a real shame. This type of accident is my biggest concern; one that you should be able to walk away from but get too banged up to do so. I really wish the Amsafe inflatable belts were available for RVs.

According to the FAA N number it was powered by a Rotax engine. It also says "see Bombadier"?

Bombardier is the parent company of Rotax.

RV 7A Crash
Hey Guys,
I knew Bob. Great guy and would talk your ear off if you asked him a question regarding building RV's. His plane was equiped with a lycoming engine and constant speed prop. Not sure why anything would point toward a Rotax engine. At this time it appears he lost power. No one knows yet why. Bob's closer RV friends in time may be willing to give what details they know and may post some personal things about Bob. I do know he was married and has a grown daughter.
We are all in shock over the crash. Really hitting home.
Doug Brinlee
