A privately registered DTA Voyageur II 912 S Basic Ultra-light powered hang glider aircraft operated by ULM Quebec, was conducting a training flight from St-Cuthbert (ULM Quebec) (CCU2), QC with 1 instructor and 1 student-pilot on board. For approximately 1 hour, the 2 occupants trained locally, and conducted multiple touch and goes at CCU2. At approximately 20:00 EDT, the aircraft took off from Runway 10, and crashed a few seconds later on a field adjacent to the runway. Both occupants sustained fatal injuries. The aircraft was destroyed.
The investigation determined that the engine backfired during the initial climb over the runway. Subsequently, the aircraft was in a steep bank (between 60° and 90°) during the right turn, and it then entered a dive. The scenario considered most plausible by the investigation was a loss of control during the turn with insufficient altitude to recover before impact with the ground.
