THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT HAVE AN AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE NOR HAD A SPECIAL FLIGHT PERMIT BEEN ISSUED. THE LEFT PROPELLER WENT INTO REVERSE DURING THE INITIAL CLIMB DUE TO CORROSION AND DETERIORATION OF THE WIRING THAT CONTROLLED THE PROPELLER. THE ACFT CRASHED OUT OF CONTROL AFTER COLLIDING WITH POWER LINES DURING TAKEOFF. IT STRUCK THE GROUND AND WENT THRU A FENCE THEN DOWN A SLOPE AND OVER AN EMBANKMENT.

ALL 3 ENGINES WERE STILL PRODUCING POWER WHEN THE ACFT CAME TO REST.
