The pilot took off and was then carried to the left of the take-off axis. He made a low-height U-turn, probably to avoid obstacles, and returned to the take-off direction, reaching a height of approximately 50 m. The wing’s lines then twisted to the left, without the pilot being able to slow the rotation or attempting to use the risers or the right control.
