Narrative:The pilot of the Aces High Cuby II advanced ultralight departed Davidson, Saskatchewan, en route to a private airstrip near Kenaston. About two miles southeast of the private airstrip, the aircraft was seen to enter a spin and descend into the ground. The pilot and his passenger sustained fatal injuries.
The Board determined that the aircraft encountered gusty winds and wind shear which probably exceeded its capabilities, then stalled and entered a spin from which recovery was impossible in the altitude available. Contributing factors were the aft centre of gravity of the aircraft and incomplete aileron gap seals.
