An amateur-built ultralight airplane crashed in a test flight priot to an air show, killing the pilot.
Two sources contradict each other in the date of the accident [Peng (1996): 1992.7.17; Chu & Tao (1998): 1992.1.13. Cross-checking against the date of the air show reveals that Peng's record should be the authentic one.] and the aircraft type [Peng (1996): Baoji-B; Chu & Tao (1998): Baoji-A02]. Peng (1996) also mentioned that the crashed aircraft was powered by a Rotax 503 engine.
