FOR RELEASE SUNDAY, MARCH 2, 2014, AT 12:06 A.M. EST - In this Feb. 17, 2014 photo, Palm Beach County Sherrif's personnel investigate the scene where single-engine, amateur-built plane crashed into a golf course pond that claimed the life 58-year-old pilot Leonard McGarity in Wellington, Fla. Categorized as “experimental” by the Federal Aviation Administration, planes like McGarity's, which are delivered in boxes via semi-trailer trucks, cost as little as $25,000 and can be assembled by anyone with a monkey wrench and a garage, are limited to recreational, non-commercial purposes and must have at least 51 percent of its assembly completed by an amateur builder.
