Default 2 perish in LA RV-6 Crash Sunday
An aquaintance based at LS40 Ama St. Charles airport about 3 miles southwest of New Orleans International said that last night an RV6 veered into some trees on takeoff and both perished from the post crash fire.

Anyone have details what happened? Probably too early and I dont like post crash speculation, just would like to have more detail.

Be careful out there.......

Tim

Quoted from the news article; "A preliminary investigation indicates that there was a malfunction in the plane's dual controls when the accident occurred."
