NTSB summary
On January 27, 2026, about 1100 mountain standard time, an amateur-built, experimental CCX-1865 Carbon Cub, N126C, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Montour, Idaho. The pilot and pilot-rated passenger were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. According to a friend of the pilot and the pilot-rated passenger, he observed the pilot pulling the airplane out of his hangar. He spoke briefly with the pilot and learned that the pilot was meeting the pilot-rated passenger at 1000 for a flight. The pilot refueled his airpalne 20-gallons of fuel and made one circuit in the traffic pattern. While the pilot was conducting the short flight, the pilot-rated passenger arrived at the airport and parked his airplane. ADS-B data from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) revealed the airplane departed S78 about 1022, travelled to the northwest for about 5 miles and climbed to a maximum altitude of about 3,075 ft mean sea level (msl) then returned to the airport about 1032, consistent with the pilot’s first flight around S78. The airplane then departed S78 about 1042 and proceeded to the east. The airplane maneuvered near the east side of Lanham Field, a private airport. The airplane’s altitude varied from about 3,850 ft msl to about 4,325 ft msl and circled once in a counterclockwise direction then turned and circled a second time in a clockwise direction. The airplane then headed to the northeast and flew an eastward path that paralleled the south side of Black Canyon reservoir. Upon
