The noncertificated pilot described that on the day of the accident flight, he thought that the winds were gusting to about 30 knots. Shortly after takeoff from the private airstrip he reported that he lost control of the airplane after encountering a gust of wind. The airplane subsequently contacted power lines and came to rest in trees, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage and wings. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during initial climb in gusting wind conditions, which resulted in a collision with power lines and trees.
