holland rebel accident last year

Hi Everybody, some time ago I advised the archives of the fatal accident of
a Murphy Rebel in Holland.
I tried to get some info earlier but to no avail. My most recent attempt to
get some info was replied to very promptly by a Dutch investigator on their
accident board.
He pointed out that all research is confidential and that they had not yet
completed their investigation. However, until this point in their research,
no indications were found that technical problems with the airframe or its
engine had caused the accident.
Well, that is something I suppose and let's hope that they don't change
their mind.
Totally unrelated but of some interest, France has prohibited building of
all kits. Or to put it another way, you can build it, but you won't get to
fly it. Yes, you are reading it correctly. There is one exception and that
is a puny ultra-light kit put out by their ROBIN. This measure was allegedly
taken because of "complaints" by the light aircraft manufacturers in France,
that they were loosing too much business. In other words "you either cough
up $ 250,000 or $ 300,000 or you don't fly". Nobody knows what is going to
happen to kits now partially completed. I understand they are to request an
exemption to this new no-more-kits-rule. Only in Europe can these so-called
democratic governments act so arrogantly towards their own citizens. Holland
is another example although not yet in the aviation area. Every day there
seems to be another attempt to restrict citizens rights or hit them with
another tax.
Unreal. All for now, Geert Frank N 83MR (s/n 083R).
