Subsequently the airplane pitched down, impacted the ground, and nosed over.
A postaccident examination revealed substantial damage to the right-wing lift strut and the empennage.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
After multiple requests, the pilot did not return the NTSB Form 6120.1 Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident/Incident Report.
