Analysis
The accident occurred after takeoff from a private sod airstrip. A witness saw the aircraft climb to about 500 feet. It then started losing altitude, dropped out of sight, and crashed. The aircraft impacted the ground in a nose low attitude and burned. Investigation failed to disclose any airplane problems. The pilot was deaf. The impact was commensurate with a stall. The airplane was equipped with a stall warning light.
