Read the full NTSB narrative
DURING INITIAL CLIMB THE ENGINE FAILED AND THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO GET A RESTART. THE PILOT, WHO WAS ALSO THE BUILDER OF THE AIRCRAFT, WAS AWARE THAT IN CERTAIN ATTITUDES THE ENGINE WOULD FAIL DUE TO FUEL STARVATION AND THAT BY CHANGING THE AIRCRAFT ATTITUDE A RESTART COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED. ON THIS FLIGHT THE PILOT WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE PRIOR TO COLLIDING WITH THE GROUND.
