1 person was seriously injured.

The failure of the pilot to secure a fabric panel during preflight inspection resulting in the panel separating from the aircraft during climb after takeoff, passing through the propeller and damaging wing flap fabric, loss of engine power due to wing flap fabric wrapping around the propeller, and damage to the aircraft during a forced landing into trees.

Read the full NTSB narrative

During a climbing turn after takeoff a fabric panel separated from the aircraft and went through the propeller. Fabric on the wing flaps was damage and the fabric wrapped around the propeller flange. The pilot reduced engine power to idle and set up for a forced landing. The aircraft was over trees and the pilot flared onto the trees. Examination of the aircraft after the accident by an FAA inspector showed the panel that separated is held in place by velcro and appears to have been left loose during preflight inspection.
