(-23) ON JULY 20, 2008 AT 0745 CDT, A QUICKSILVER SPORT S2 MODEL EXPERIMENTAL LIGHT SPORT AIRCRAFT, N910DB, DEPARTED FORT SMITH, AR (FSM) WHEN THE PRIVATE PILOT DETECTED THE ENGINE WAS NOT PRODUCING FULL RPM.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
