I forgot the attachment, sorry!
Notice for example both accus (batteries) were
loose and not fastened at all.

This is very sad. Our thoughts are with that
family.
***
I have something to report about the accident
plane. This is a bit scary but I have known over
11 years that it is maybe not so well built (at
least it is fast built).
My building process was around it=B4s mid when
visited EAA Sweden fly-in in Barkarby 2002. Our
family friend Bob Harrison was there as well as
Mr. Keith Wilson with his huge cameras and extra
thick wallet but that=B4s an another story.
G-GBXS was there. It looked very nice, almost a
show finished plane (actually, there was a show).
I was very curious what=B4s there under the hatches.
To learn something I took a screwdriver and opened
all the possible hatches and covers to visit
inside. That was awful. I was a novice but
understood this is something I definetely would
and will do better. Look attachments. Very
careless. Dirty. Corrosion. A Fuel pump area was
like a spider=B4s nest. That inspection happened 1st
of June 2002. I got new standards to finish my
plane.
I underline my observations have maybe nothing to
do with XS=B4 flight safety nor that accident and
all these invisible details have maybe and
hopefully fixed years ago to equal better level
and higher standards.
Build carefull - make beauty first inside then
outside!

The fact that the wreckage seems to be all
together would
argue against a mid air structural failure. Very
sad
indeed. David Joyce. G-XSDJ
