Description

He was a friend and a very strong man and he made his decisions hoping that he will not go in! He had problems with his starts and he was warned that this is not the site to fix this or learn how to do it right. No one saw what happened but most probably his exit was not good, lost all altitude trying to get it fly and when he decided to pitch it was too late. He was found with the canopy out, died instantly.
