Just a snippet from the latest AAIB reports.
This could have been a very bad day !
”On the day of the accident the pilot reported that he
removed the aircraft from its trailer and unfolded the
wings with the assistance of another pilot. The pre-flight
and start-up checks were uneventful but, approximately
50 feet into the takeoff run, the right wing started to
rotate upwards about the fuselage. The pilot immediately
abandoned the takeoff.”
