From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

The aircraft landed gear up and flaps up shortly after departure of spinks airport. The pilot reported that the engine started running very "rough" shortly after take off and then completely stopped. The pilot reported that he changed fuel tanks from right to left just prior to stoppage. The pilot was enroute to houston, TX with his wife, brother and sister-in-law. No injuries were reported. The pilot reported that he did not have time to pump the gear or flaps down prior to landing. Minor damage to the under carriage and one prop. Photos of the #2 cylinder and spark plug was sent to Continental engines corp for consultation.
