Narrative:According to the pilot, he began the takeoff roll from a runway intersection and pitched the airplane’s nose up for maximum climb to avoid trees; however, he stated, “I over-rotated and entered a power-on stall.” He attempted to correct by lowering the nose, but the airplane rolled to the left and entered the trees before impacting a house.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot’s exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack during takeoff, which resulted in a departure stall.
