Has it been determined why the fire started?

To be accurate, there was one person hurt, although not badly.
He hit his head exiting the aircraft, and required stitches.

And I have not heard any definitive reason as to why the fire started.

EAA's Aluminum Overcast flew in to my town for a couple of days this week and I stopped by. I heard a mechanic say that there was a persistent fuel leak they were working on and they thought it had been fixed... :(

Hmmm.... hadn't heard that one before.

Oh well, I guess if the EAA mechanic said it, it must be true. :wink: :wink:

I haven't heard anything definitive either.
