Crashed alongside the runway on takeoff.
PROBABLE CAUSE(S): Runaway elevator trim. Immediately after lift-off, the elevator trim (controlled only by a large trimming wheel immediately on the pilot's right side) ran-away trimming the aircraft full nose up. The aircraft stalled and crashed killing all onboard. The Alberta Government immediately grounded it's other Dornier and sold it (CF-AFC) after the Dornier mod was installed (a trim wheel lock) aftermarket.
