THE PILOT TRIED TO INCREASE THE THROTTLE AGAIN AND THE ENGINE STALLED.  THE PILOT THEN SET UP FOR AN EMERGENCY LANDING.  THE PILTO STATED THAT HE DID NOT EXTEND FLAPS AND ON FINAL APPROACH OVER A FARMERS HAY FIELD THE WING STALLED RESULTING IN AIRCRAFT FALLING OUT OF THE AIR CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT AND SERIOUS INJURY TO THE PILOT.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
