Buying a plane in eBay turned out to be a bad idea...

Ultralight plane fall kills 2

Two people died while their plane fell to the ground in the Northern province of Misiones, Argentina. The plane, a Rens S-12XL, had only 4 hours of flight since was home-assembled and a few days since it was acquired via Internet.

The trip was planned to cover a full 200 m (218 yards).

Experts are finding out if the engine suddenly stopped, or if a strong descending wind crashed the device into the earth.

The relatives of the two failed pilots wanted to get a refund from the seller, but he has not answered the emails so far.








Except for the unrespectful comment at the bottom, and the eBay reference in the title, this news is sadly not false. Sorry to the relatives. Kids, do not try this at home.
