A Dyn'Aero MCR-01, registered VH-SIP, departed Serpentine Aerodrome, Australia, to conduct a check flight after maintenance. The pilot was the sole occupant on board.
The pilot had conducted one previous check flight in VH-SIP earlier that afternoon, and was conducting the post-maintenance checks with a number of ground crew, including licensed aircraft maintenance engineers.
Witnesses reported that, on the second flight from runway 09, audible changes in the aircraft engine noise, and a noticeable change in aircraft performance at about 300 ft above ground level. They observed the aircraft slow and begin a left turn. Further change in the engine noise were heard before VH-SIP was observed to continue the left turn. Shortly after, the left wing dropped, and the aircraft entered a steep, nose-down rotating descent. The pilot was unable to recover control of the aircraft before impacting terrain.
