THIS WAS A TRAINING FLIGHT WITH A CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR (CFI) AND A RATED STUDENT PILOT (RSP), IN A MOTOR-GLIDER. THE CFI HAD INFORMED THE TOWER CONTROLLERS THAT HE PLANNED TO PRACTICE A SIMULATED ROPE BRAKE AFTER TAKEOFF. AT 525 FEET THE CFI REDUCED THE POWER TO IDLE AND THE RSP INITIATED A 30 DEGREE BANK TO THE RIGHT TO RETURN TO THE RUNWAY. AFTER 120 DEGREES OF TURN, AS THE RSP AND CFI LOOKED OVER THEIR SHOULDERS TOWARD THE RUNWAY, THE RIGHT WING DROPPED AND THE BANK ANGLE INCREASED TO ABOUT 65 DEGREES. THE CFI TOOK THE CONTROLS, LEVELED THE WINGS AND ADDED POWER. THE GLIDER THEN COLLIDED WITH TREES.
Probable Cause: THE CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR'S DELAY IN TAKING REMEDIAL ACTION, WHICH RESULTED IN THE MOTOR-GLIDER COLLIDING WITH TREES.
