Accident & incident history

1996-04-07 Accident · Chino, CA Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · LAX96LA159
Reported aircraft: Gage Vari-Eze — a different aircraft that carried the N88VE registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the pilot's excessive initial climb attitude and his failure to maintain adequate airspeed. The pilot's diverted attention to the unlatched canopy warning light, and his lack of familiarity with the aircraft were factors.
