An update to the Finnish "FrankenHornet" crash. Original news with pictures here:

Apparently the unique Hornet flew for the first time during last fall unlike I said before. On 21.1.2010 it was on a test flight when the pilots performed a tailslide at around 10 km of altitude after which the aircraft went into a vertical dive. The pilots couldn't pull out and ejected at 5 km of altitude and at a speed of 875 km/h. Both suffered broken arm bones and the helmet of the other one was blown away accompanied with facial trauma (as I undesrstood).

 

Todays announcement from FiAF says that the data from DFIRS ("black box") revealed that the flight control system switched to a mechanical back up system after the tailslide for an unknown reason.
