Probable cause
The pilot’s improper modifications to the airplane’s engine, which resulted in the partial loss of engine power. Contributing to the outcome was the pilot's exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack during an attempted return to the airport following a partial loss of engine power, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and impact with terrain.
