Probable cause
The pilot’s exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack while maneuvering for landing following a partial loss of engine power after takeoff, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and loss of control. Contributing to the accident was maintenance personnel’s failure to properly secure the No. 1 cylinder valve lash adjustment screw jam nut, which resulted in the loss of engine power.
