| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The private pilot was conducting a personal flight in the experimental airplane. He reported that, during climbout, the right wing kept “coming up” and that the airplane was banking left. The pilot attempted to level the airplane but was unsuccessful. The airplane turned 360 degrees, and the airplane’s nose started to drop. The pilot reduced the engine power and continued trying to level the airplane. The airplane subsequently impacted the ground on the left wing and landing gear and came to rest on its nose. An examination of the airplane revealed no mechanical anomalies that would have prevented normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain airplane control after takeoff.
