Probable cause
The pilot’s operation of the weight-shift control aircraft over its design gross weight and his decision to take off with the engine operating at less than the specified takeoff rpm, which resulted in degraded takeoff and climb performance. Contributing to the accident was the increased density altitude conditions, which further decreased the aircraft’s climb capability.
