So far National Transportation Safety Board investigators have not found any

Texas pilot James Notch died when his single-engine plane crashed into a

Minutes after he took off, Notch radioed controllers and said the plane had
engine problems.
Notch tried flying back to the airport, but his plane hit power lines,
tearing off part of the right wing.
Most of the plane burned after it hit the ground.
What's left of the wreckage has been moved to Hagerstown, Maryland, for
examination.
The N-T-S-B said it could take as long as a year to find the cause.
