What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) After departing the Spicewood Airport, the amateur built pitts model 12, N922TP, lost power and the pilot made an emergency landing, beside the runway at Spicewood, TX. The aircraft sustained substantial damage. The pilot, was the sole occupant and received minor injuries. Upon investigation, it was found that the fuel flow sender unit of the engine appeared to be obstructed. This investigation also indicated that the fuel flow sender was installed "up stream" of the fuel filters. Further investigation should reveal if this is a possible design flaw.
