What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot departed his north/south oriented private grass strip to the south and began a right turn to the west, at which time the engine began to lose power and run rough. The pilot attempted to continue the turn to reach the approach end of the runway. While maneuvering, the aircraft stalled and impacted right wing low in a bean field. Subsequent investigation revealed that the fuel system contained sufficient particulate contamination to stop the flow of fuel to the carburetor.
