Accident description, freely translated from member magazine "Hypoxia" 1/2013: When the Trike takes off, it turns to the left. Pilot compensates with full power, turns to the right and accelerates. The trike is now tilting hard to the right and the pilot can not reduce power since he is standing on the accelerator. He does not operate the engine cut-off switch and the trike collides hard into the building. The wing is certified for a 300 kilo load, actual estimated weight with pilot and passanger was about 400 kilo.The pilot did not have a valid license to operate the actual trike.
The trike is described as a Dudek Reaction Cabrio 44 Paramotor with a 4 stroke 100hp converted Honda motorcycle engine.
