Debrief, share, and hopefully learn from the mistakes of others.

Probably the first accident report on here to come from the Philippines.
A Quicksilver GT500 crashed during a test flight. By accounts passed on to me, the pilot was at 60 mph and rotating for take-off when the aircraft drifted to the left. Pilot attempted to counter the drift but the aircraft continued drifting to the left and banking to a 90 degree angle before the left wing made contact with a fence and spun the aircraft to the ground. The pilot walked away.

Blessed are the curious, for they shall have great adventures!
Yes, on Luzon.
New info on the crash...
It was discovered that the aileron wires were crossed AND there was no pre-flight inspection.
