Narrative:
On 6 May 2012 the pilot of a 3Xtrim 450 took-off from the grass runway 24.
After the take-off the pilot started to turn left at an altitude of 15 m, flew over LZRU Tower at an altitude of 35 m and continued the flight at a course of 170°. Then the pilot started a sharp left turn to a course of 060°. At an altitude of 40-50 m above the ground level the aircraft sharply turned left and suddenly tilted over forward. The aircraft made a 1.5 turn counterclockwise, vertical to the ground, at full engine output and hit the ground.
About 5 sec after the impact the aircraft caught fire and started to burn.

Causes of air accident:
· the pilot did not pay sufficient attention to the meteorological situation,
· the pilot overrated the capabilities of the aircraft with exceeded maximum take-off weight,
· poor mastering of the flying technique after the take-off.
