## NTSB investigations (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB CHI95LA036](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI95LA036), Nov 12, 1994: Lessel KR-2 (N95RJ), Portland, IN, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: the failure of the elevator control cable attach point and the pilot's subsequent inability to control the airplane.
