## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) WHILE TAKING OFF FROM VA 42 ENGINE LOST POWER AND PILOT LANDED AIRCRAFT BACK ON RUNWAY GEAR UP. THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT AND THE FUEL SELECTOR DOES NOT HAVE A DETENT TO LOCK THE SELECTOR IN THE ON OR OFF POSITION. THE FUEL SELECTOR HAD MOVED FROM ON TO 2/3 CLOSED. A FIX HAS BEEN DETERMINED AND WILL BE IMPLEMENTED TO PREVENT THIS SAME PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING AGAIN.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
