Probable cause
The pilot’s exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and loss of airplane control. Contributing to the accident was the improper installation of the elevator trim tab control, which created control feedback that likely distracted the pilot during the precautionary landing.
