Shortly after takeoff, the airplane was observed in a nose-up climbing attitude followed by a slight left turn. A witness reported she did not hear any unusual loud noises from the engine. During the turn, the airplane stalled and impacted into an open field .2 nautical mile west-southwest from the departure end of runway 31. Examination of the flight controls and engine revealed no evidence of preimpact failure or malfunction.
Probable Cause: The failure of the pilot to maintain airspeed resulting in inadvertent stall, uncontrolled descent, and in-flight collision with terrain.
