Probable cause & findings
THE IMPROPER IN-FLIGHT DECISION BY THE PILOT TO ABORT TAKEOFF WITH INSUFFICIENT RUNWAY REMAINING.
Factual narrative
On January 28, 1995, about 1205 eastern standard time, an RV-6, registered to Dale G. Beebe, crashed during takeoff at Bob White Airport, Zellwood, Florida, while on a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The airplane sustained substantial damage, and the private-rated pilot was not injured. The flight was originating at the time of the accident. The pilot stated shortly after liftoff of runway 27 the canopy opened. The pilot then reduced power and attempted to close the canopy; thereafter, he lost control and collided with the trees. THE PILOT OF THE EXPERIMENTAL AIRPLANE STATED THE CANOPY OPENED JUST AFTER LIFTOFF. HE FURTHER STATED HE 'WAS OUT OF RUNWAY' AND THEN REDUCED POWER IN AN ATTEMPT TO ABORT TAKEOFF. HE FLEW PAST THE END OF THE RUNWAY, COLLIDED WITH TREES, AND NOSED OVER. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
