The microlight was taking off when at approximately 60 feet it was observed dropping the left wing and then turning steeply towards the ground. The pilot managed to partially recover the aircraft and land it heavily off to one side of the runway. The airc raft sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported the aircraft engine had suffered a sudden power loss. The engine was tested but no fault was found and there did not appear to be any fault with the fuel system or settings. Carburettor icing is not suspected as the atmospheric conditions were not conducive to icing. No cause for the accident could be determined from the information available.
