Read the full NTSB narrative
Witnesses observed the airplane approximately 80 to 100 feet agl in a 'very steep' nose high angle during the takeoff climb. The airplane then banked to the left and impacted the ground in a nose low, left wing low attitude. The airplane was equipped with a STOL kit modification. No anomalies were found with the engine or airframe that would have prevented normal flight operations. Metallurgical examination of the left seat track revealed evidence indicating that the pilot's seat was engaged in the tracks when the airplane impacted the ground.
