Probable cause

The pilot/owner’s failure to properly reinstall the number 1 cylinder spark plug, which resulted in a partial loss of engine power during the initial climb. Contributing was the pilot's exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack during an attempted return to the airport following the partial loss of engine power, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall, loss of control, and impact with terrain.
