Probable Cause
DTSB: Pending. The aircraft had been outside on the ramp for several years. On the day of the accident, the accident pilot arrived with another person and they worked on the plane for several hours, with the intent of getting it flown to a new location. The aircraft had flown in for avionics work and had an accident during landing, and has been disabled on the field since that time. The aircraft was reported to have been in un airworthy condition. The accident flight path suggests a stall spin type crash, likely after an engine failure, but no eye witnesses can be located at this time.
NTSB: NONE
