There were already some spray that day flights with the device made and when the pilot started for this flight, the left tank was empty and the right three-quarters full. During spraying operations the aircraft hit a field after the second runway at about 20 to 25 meters off the engine suddenly. The flight then had lasted barely twenty minutes.
Because he stood he could not immediately landing a farm and a row of trees perform. He tried to gently already started turning off but the unit started to sag and because of the low height hit the right wing to the ground, the plane tilted by, touched the chassis ground and then hit the left end, under weight collapsed the aircraft to a halt. It was about then in the opposite direction as it had when the engine stalled.
The aircraft was damaged beyond repair, the driver was unharmed. Pilot: J. Batorfi."
