Kent, email has been sent. Here's a brief English translation of the June 3, 2016 accident summary. The pilot deployed the airframe ballistic parachute and was not injured. The prototype sustained some damage. Development has continued.

On Friday 3 June 2016, just before 17:00, the UL-39 Albi prototype aircraft crashed at Budejovice airport. It was during the check of the maximum effectiveness of the flaps that the pilot lost control of the aircraft. The test pilot, after evaluating the situation, decided to trigger the parachute recovery system. The aircraft and the pilot descended safely to the ground in a wooded area near the airport. The pilot was not injured. The prototype has suffered damage that will likely affect the further development.
