I checked the NTSB with no success. I assume we will hear more as the news spreads. Steve Colwell Legacy (Performance IO-550 ran on the test stand last Thursday) From: "Kenny Cobb" To All…this happened this afternoon, 01-23-07, immediately outside my hangar at 8A1 (Guntersville, Al). A/C exited 03, left turnoff and shortly thereafter a 45 degree right turn onto a second parallel taxiway to his hangar. As aircraft began the 45 degree turn, he noticed slight smoke rising in front of right wing next to fuselage. Engine shut down, pilot exited to see smoke and flames coming from right exhaust area aft of engine. Attempts to exhaust flames was almost totally futile as the fuel fed fire quickly erupted and spread flames t hroughout. The pilot, who had recently completed the plane and was flying off the time, had been most successful in his project and flew the craft exceptionally well. I’m sure we all wish him well in his emotional and financial recovery…kc http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=14flpf72.jxetqae&x=0&h=1&y=g2ykx4
