| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that he departed to the north with a left crosswind. Once the light-sport airplane became airborne, it weathervaned into the wind and veered left of the runway. The airplane’s left wing clipped a tree, and the airplane subsequently nosed over. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical problems with the airplane or engine. He added that it was probably a combination of “not doing enough things” that resulted in the loss of directional control.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control while taking off in a crosswind, which resulted in a collision with a tree.
