Accident & incident history

1998-09-26 Accident · Arbuckle, CA Damage: Destroyed Fatal injury NTSB · LAX98FA305
Reported aircraft: O'Neil Van'S RV-3 — a different aircraft that carried the N244WW registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's attempt to continue VFR flight in instrument conditions, which led to his spatial disorientation and in-flight loss of aircraft control, and, resulted in a pilot-induced overload failure of the airframe. The pilot's use of quinine may have been a factor in this accident.
