This is very sad news. I to feel for the family of this person. At the same time (not speculating on cause) this brings up one of my biggest fears. That is an experimental crashing in a school yard. Thank God no one else was injured.

If memory serves me correct, this is the second RV6A built by James Cone, after his first was destroyed in a storm. Looks like it's now registered to an Arizona owner. This school is about two miles from my house, and a mile from the airport. Yes, it's a sad situation.

Very sad, but I am also very glad no one else was hurt in the school!

Condolences to the family, and I'm also happy to see no bystanders were hurt...

Unfortunately it may have been close enough for some.

My sincere condolences to the family.
