What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During take off climb at 200 feet AGL the pilot experienced an engine failure. A forced, on airport, landing was made. Before touching down, the aircraft entered a full stall, at 25 feet AGL, resulting in hard landing damage to the landing gear, engine, propeller and wings. During landing roll further damage was caused to the aft fuselage, tail wheel and elevators from contact with a fence post. A post accident examination revealed large sheets of randolph 802 sealant had collected in the main fuel tank sump area. The loose sealant was large enough to restrict fuel flow into the firewall fuel system strainer, resulting in fuel starvation.
