| Date | Location | Reg# | Severity | Damage | Probable Cause |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 30, 2020 | Fur airport, DA | D-EQCA | Fatal (4) | destroyed | Investigation pending |
| Sep 06, 2018 | Jean, NV | N6064C | Fatal (1) | destroyed | The pilot failed to maintain adequate speed while maneuvering at a low attitude during night and entered an aerodynamic stall and subsequent spin. |
| Mar 31, 2005 | Venice, FL | N60204 | Fatal (2) | destroyed |

| Mar 30, 2000 | HANFORD, CA | N516CA | Fatal (4) | destroyed | undetermined. The pilot's failure to reject the takeoff and his failure to retract the landing gear following liftoff were factors. |
| Jul 18, 1998 | WEST JORDAN, UT | N61174 | Fatal (1) | destroyed |

The pipe separated and hot exhaust gases escaped into the engine compartment. The engine lost power due to the high heat vaporizing fuel in the fuel line. Factors were inadequate quality control by the clamp manufacturer; the pilot's intentional maneuvering of the airplane to avoid houses and personnel, and the lack of suitable terrain on which to make a forced landing. |
| May 15, 1998 | LAGRANGE, WI | N6059C | Fatal (4) | destroyed |

Factors in this accident was the pilot's lack of total experience in the airplane and the clouds. |
| Nov 30, 1997 | CROSS CITY, FL | N302RS | Fatal (3) | destroyed |

Related factors were: the adverse weather condition (low clouds/ceiling), and the pilot's lack of instrument experience. |
