>Arlen Stange, 42, Stratford, SD, was flying his powered paraplane when it spiraled out of control and crashed in his farmyard. ------------(snip) Groton Dakota Press ========================================================== Here is additional information which I received off line. If this has already been on the list, I apologies for the repeat....Ray in MN The PPC involved turned out to be a Powrachute, the pilot had been flying a rectangle for 2 years but had switched to an elliptical recently. It appears from witnesses that the PPC went into a hard right turn which developed into a spin that the pilot did not recover from. The plane burned ,pilot died of multiple injuries sustained in crash. No indication at this time for cause of crash.None of the local PPC community knew this pilot . He did have family that witnessed the event, a terrible loss. I am not compelled to give out names but if you want to look it up it is in the paper at www.aberdeennews.com . I hope if nothing else these tragedies make us take a little more care in our flying routines from preflight to landings. Fly Safe ([email protected])
