While browsing the NTSB site for January 2013 incidents, I came a cross this preliminary investigation regarding an RV 10

http://www.ntsb.gov/aviationquery/br...05X35922&key=1

- - basically an engine failure at 6 hours during flight testing resulting in substantial damage to the airplane.

If the NTSB could provide more information regarding engine type: e.g. Certified, experimental or auto conversion. . . It would appear to me to be relevant to safety. Anyone have more information on this incident?

does EAA follow up on these incidents to improve safety, compile data etc.? What about Vans?

If a goal of EAA, FAA etc. is to improve safety, it would seem relevant to understand the data.
