REPORTEDLY, THE PLT WAS ON HIS 1ST FLT IN THE ULTRALIGHT VEHICLE AFTER HE HAD BEEN TAXIING IT DURING THE PREVIOUS WEEK. DURING TAKEOFF FROM A RANCH, THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH THE GROUND. ACCORDING TO THE DEPUTY SHERIFF, WHO RESPONDED TO THE SCENE, THE PLT STATED THAT THE CONTROLS FAILED TO RESPOND & HE WAS UNABLE TO LEVEL THE VEHICLE FROM A LEFT BANK. THE PLT REFUSED TO COOPERATE WITH THE INVESTIGATOR. HE SAID HE HAD SOLD THE VEHICLE & DID NOT KNOW WHERE IT WAS LOCATED.
