The aircraft was being flown to the Aero Park Airport in Menominee Falls, Wisconsin, after having been used for parachute activity at the East Troy Municipal airport. The aircraft collided with power lines 110 feet above the ground and subsequently impacted the ground 0.25 statute miles east-northeast of the approach end of runway 23. Weather at the time of the accident was reported as winds 280 at 14 knots, 10 statute miles visibility, and clear skies. The aircraft was examined and no anomalies were found that could be associated with a preexisting condition.
Probable Cause: the pilots failure to maintain adequate clearance. A factor was the static wire.
