"Rising Trend of Home-Built Aircraft: Small Plane Crashes off California Coast"
A small home-built aircraft, the Cozy Mark IV, crashed off the California coast, with no survivors found and only one body recovered. The plane, registered to Winged Wallabies, Inc., was constructed over nearly a decade and sold last year to a young pilot. Home-built aircraft like the Cozy Mark IV are part of a growing hobby, with over 33,000 licensed by the FAA. The crash is under investigation, and the National Transportation Safety Board is expected to release a preliminary report within 30 days.
