Recent Eagle Aircraft Co EAGLE DW-1 accidents
Fatigue failure of the No. 2 cylinder studs/through bolts and the fracture of the crankcase, which resulted in a total loss of engine power.
The intermittent partial loss of engine power, which resulted in a lower-than-expected approach glidepath and impact with terrain short of the runway. The reason for the intermittent partial loss of engine power could not be determined because postaccident examination of the airframe and engine did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
The pilot's misjudgment of tree heights, which resulted in the collision with a tree.
The pilot’s inadequate visual lookout and failure to maintain clearance from a vehicle during a low-altitude operation.
A worn wire in the magneto system, which allowed intermittent grounding and a loss of engine power.
