NTSB Prelim Release In WV Streak Shadow Accident

Initial Investigation Finds No Fuel In In-Line Fuel Filter

A pilot flying an experimental aircraft for the first time since it was damaged in an earlier incident was seriously injured when the airplane went down shortly after takeoff. Witnesses said they heard the engine "sputter" and then stop running, and the FAA's initial investigation showed no fuel in the in-line fuel filter on the aircraft. We'll have to wait for the probable cause report to determine if it really is that cut-and-dried.
