On July 7, 2014, about 2020 Pacific daylight time, an ultralight
Bailey-Moyes Microlights Dragonfly B, N7008Z, impacted trees after the pilot
activated the onboard parachute near Flying H Ranch Airport, Buckley,
Washington. Private individuals owned and operated the ultralight under the
provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91. The private pilot
sustained minor injuries; the ultralight was substantially damaged. Visual
meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The pilot
departed Burnett Landing Airport, Wilkeson, Washington about 2000 for a local
personal flight.

The pilot reported that about 15 minutes after departure, he was maneuvering the
ultralight to the west of Flying H Ranch Airport. While maneuvering at an
airspeed of about 33-34 mph, the pilot initiated a right turn. The ultralight
then assumed a nose-low attitude with the right wing low. The pilot felt no
feedback pressure on the control stick and determined that there was a flight
control malfunction. He activated the onboard BRS emergency parachute when the
ultralight was about 100 feet above the trees. The ultralight subsequently
collided with the trees and came to rest inverted about .4 nautical miles from
the airport.

The wreckage was recovered for further examination.

No not me but some good friends. They bought the tug from Scott,
Dave and Aaron in Oregon. I have been flying with them a bunch taught them how
to tow etc. They let a friend fly it who felt something weird on final. He was
low so deployed the chute. We could not find anything wrong. Maybe got a little
slow and was pretty low near the trees, may have encountered some turbulence.
They are repairing the tug and should be back in the air soon.

Thanks to Scott Silver.
