Also causal was the pilot's failure to activate the emergency vent panel and land prior to contact with the power lines, and, his use of an unapproved aluminum fuel tank, which ruptured during the power line contact and ignited a fire.  A factor in the accident was the pilot's failure before takeoff to use pibals to quantify the wind speed.","registration":"N70290","state":"CA","summary":"Accident on May 9, 1999 at Morgan Hill, CA: fatal, destroyed (2 fatal).","type":"ACC"}],"num_engines":1,"other_names":"","plain_english":"N70290 is a Dangler Homer L C, a fixed-wing airplane with one motor with a piston engine.
