| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that the airplane began turning left immediately after takeoff and did not seem to be responding to his control inputs. His attempts to maintain control were not successful and the airplane climb rate was deteriorating with the engine at full power. He recalled attempting to 'pull back” as the airplane impacted the trees. The airplane sustained damage to the fuselage and both wings. A postaccident examination confirmed flight control continuity with no evidence of a preimpact flight control anomaly.
Probable Cause: The pilot's loss of control during the initial climb for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information.
