ACCORDING TO THE PLT, HE MADE A NORMAL TAKEOFF IN HIS HOME BUILT ACFT & STARTED TO CLIMB ON A FLT PATH THAT WENT OVER A WAREHOUSE. HE REPORTED THAT HE ENCOUNTERED A THERMAL & SEVERE TURBULENCE WHICH WERE CREATED BY THE WAREHOUSE. HE STATED THAT THIS CAUSED THE PLANE TO BANK STEEPLY TO ALMOST 90 DEG. THE PLT INITIATED CORRECTIVE ACTION, BUT THE ACFT WENT INVERTED & SUBSEQUENTLY CRASHED ONTO THE WAREHOUSE ROOF.
