| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
At a height of about 50 feet on initial climb, the aircraft suffered a birdstrike which resulted in the canopy being broken. Although the pilot's vision was inhibited by the effects of windblast, he was able to land the aircraft. After the engine was shut down the pilot heard a noise, determined that the aircraft was on fire and vacated just before it was totally consumed. It is likely that as a result of the birdstrike, a fuel line was damaged and this allowed fuel to spray onto the hot engine/exhaust area causing the fire.
