A REMOS LIGHT SPORT AIRCRAFT, PRIMARILY USED FOR INSTRUCTION OUT OF THE ORLANDO EXECUTIVE AIRPORT WAS CONDUCTING PATTERN WORK LOCALLY. AFTER COMPLETING TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS, THE SUBJECT AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE AREA RETURNING TO THE ORLANDO.

MAKING THE TURN OFF THE CENTERLINE, THE PILOT HEARD A CRUNCHING NOISE AND AIRCRAFT'S ATTITUDE ROTATED NOSE HIGH CAUSING THE LEFT WING TO DROOP. ALL FORWARD PROGRESS WAS HALTED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
