Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Shell Knob, Missouri 65747
Thursday, June 10, 2010 10:40 CDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot reported that he departed a grass runway and was about 300 feet above ground level in a crosswind turn when the engine completely lost power. He attempted to land on a crossing runway, but he overshot the runway and landed in a hay field. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and empennage. The inspection of the airframe and engine revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal engine operation.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

A total loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
