What was the cause of that bad crash in the states? Did anyone ever find out
I believe it was a combination of two factors. Firstly, there was a mechanical issue with the trim components being incorrectly installed or adjusted, and secondly I believe the aircraft was loaded incorrectly, moving the center of gravity aft. Unfortunately, I beleive that the pilot's efforts at bringing the nose back down during the initial climb out where unsuccessful .
