Probable cause
A loss of control during takeoff for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information, which resulted in a collision with a hangar and trees.
NTSB analysis
According to a witness, during the takeoff, the airplane veered to the left and impacted a hangar and trees before coming to rest. Photos of the airplane showed that the airplane’s wings, fuselage, and empennage were substantially damaged. Multiple attempts to contact the pilot were unsuccessful, and the airplane could not examined following the accident. The witness’s description of the airplane’s flightpath is consistent with a loss of control during the takeoff; however, the reason for the loss of control could not be determined based on the available information.
