NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that during initial climb out, just after becoming airborne, he inputted a higher than normal angle of attack and subsequently the airplane stalled and rolled to the left. The pilot was unable to recover and the airplane struck vegetation and impacted the ground. Substantial damage was sustained to the wings and fuselage during the accident sequence. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain airplane control when he exceeded the airplane's critical angle of attack during climb out which resulted in a loss of airspeed and subsequent aerodynamic stall.
