On August 7, 2021, about 1115 central daylight time, an unregistered Rotary Air Force RAF 2000 gyroplane sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident near Anahuac, Texas. The pilot was uninjured, and the passenger sustained minor injuries. The flight was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 test flight. The pilot reported that the test flight occurred after a new trim system was installed. The pilot stated that, during the test flight, he tried to adjust the trim, but nothing happened. He actuated the trim switch again, and the gyroplane responded with a “massive pitch up.” He attempted to override the trim switch but was unable to do so, and the gyroplane descended rapidly from 50 ft to ground impact. The figure below shows the gyroplane on its right side in a field. The fuselage, empennage, and rotor blades sustained substantial damage. Figure.

The pilot stated that a trim limit switch was not installed, and that the trim system maintenance was “probably” done incorrectly, which is what caused the malfunction during flight. The maintenance logbooks were not made available during the investigation.
