| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
During initial climb the airplane descended into the terrain. The pilot said that when he attempted to rotate the airplane for liftoff, there was resistance on the yoke. He continued to say that as the airplane lifted off the resistance gave way and the airplane 'popped' into the air. He said that the airplane reached an altitude of about 25 to 50 feet above ground level prior to descending into the terrain. A post accident examination of the airplane failed to reveal the nature of the resistance. Control continuity was compromised behind the instrument panel during the impact sequence.
Probable Cause: the elevator control system jammed for undetermined reasons.
