| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot had just built the airplane and had departed on the airplane’s first flight. The pilot reported that as soon as the wheels left the ground the airplane made a tight left turn. He was unable to arrest the turn and bring the airplane back to a straight and level attitude, so he reduced power and the airplane collided with trees, substantially damaging both wings and the fuselage. During a postaccident examination, flight control continuity was established to the flaperons, elevator, and rudder. However, due to impact damage, the investigation was not able to determine if the flight controls were rigged properly. The cause of the loss of directional control could not be determined.
Probable Cause: A loss of directional control on takeoff for undetermined reasons.
