Crashed.
The accident occurred at the Reno-Stead Airport (4SD) Reno, NV, United States while maneuvering. The damage was substantial. While being flown on an air race qualification/training flight, the experimental jetaCOs engine support mount, which had been recently installed to accommodate an increased-thrust engine modification, failed to keep the engine properly aligned. The resultant misalignment resulted in jet blast being directed onto and melting a portion of the rudder support structure...
