The Fokker Dr.I replica impacted airport terrain during initial climb.
The pilot undertook his first flight aboard the triplane aircraft he had built. During the turn before the end of the initial climb, the ultralight stalled asymmetrically to the left and collided with the ground.
In the absence of documentation on the ultralight, the examination of the wreckage did not allow to to exclude the hypothesis of a technical failure or a flight instability of the the ultralight, which had not been tested before. However, the investigation showed that the condition of the pilot was deteriorated because of a coronary disease and that there was a new heart attack in progress at the time of the flight.
This infarction probably resulted in a disability that did not allow him to control of the aircraft.
