I'll admit, I am spoiled being in a modern turbine cockpit. I might have been less so in a Thorp.

Yep, I still feel safer flying my little putt putt airplanes on sunny days over northern Ohio than I do driving my car to work each day, but this whole deal is just awful. 
I wonder what happened.... airplanes don't typically just lawn dart in. I wonder if the guy got too slow in the pattern and cross over spun in or whether there was an ultra rare (even for "experimentals") catastrophic structural failure.
