A sixty year old resident of Phoenix, Arizona was observed low flying in an home-built Denney Kitfox S.5, US registration N723V. Post-accident investigaton revealed that the right wing came in contact with rolling terrain. The aircraft cartwheeled, and came to rest inverted and then burned. The pilot lost his life due to forces and impact.
The fire was started in the engine area and was fed by fuel because the cap became dislodged during the accident sequence. The fuel lines maintained their integrity. The TSB will update and a Minister's Observer has been assigned.
2001/09/05 UPDATE TSB reported that the aircraft struck the ground after circling a farm house at low altitude. An intense post-crash fire ensued. The aircraft was destroyed and the pilot was fatally injured.
