Probable cause

The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from transmission lines. A contributing factor was the low altitude selected by the pilot.

NTSB narrative

The non-certificated pilot was manuvering his aircraft at low-level, when the aircraft collided with power lines leading to a residential home. Photographs taken at the site show an upside down aircraft, with a section of a power line among the wreckage. The pilot was airlifted to a hospital, however, he could not recall any details about the accident sequence.
