A Piper PA-18-95 (L-18C) Super Cub crashed just after take-off from Verviers-Theux (Laboru) Airfield (EBTX).
Both occupants deceased.
Causes.
The cause of the accident is the improper take-off setting (stabilizer trim in full nose up position) generating a too high initial pitch of the aircraft, which caused a stall during initial climb.
Contributing factors.
- The nominal take-off speed is close the stall speed.
- The presence of a high voltage line in front of RWY 24. The lack of altitude could have made the pilot to decide to make a turn, what increased the effect of stall.
