| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was performing a low fly-by over runway 33, and as the airplane reached the departure end, the engine lost power. Witnesses said that the pilot made a left turn back towards runway 15. Subsequently the airplane hit wires, impacted terrain, cart wheeled, came to rest against a transmission pole, and burned. Postaccident examination of the engine revealed that the gear reduction assembly had failed. The pilot had designed and built the airplane in 1986.
Probable Cause: the pilot's inadequate decision to turn back (low altitude) towards the runway for a forced landing. A contributing factor was the total loss of engine power due to a reduction gear failure.
