Here's the NTSB preliminary. notice the "uncertified pilot" comment, as well
as the pilot's comment about "engine revved..power lost to propeller"
Could this be a reduction drive failure?
Mike
NTSB Identification: CEN10LA171
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Monday, March 22, 2010 in Eldon, MO
Aircraft: LOEHR THOMAS H ZENITH STOL CH701, registration: N144AC
Injuries: 1 Uninjured.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors.
Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been
completed.
On March 22, 2010, at 1854 central daylight time, a Loehr Zenith STOL CH701
experimental airplane, N144AC, sustained substantial damage following a loss
of engine power during takeoff from the Eldon Model Airpark (H79), Eldon,
Missouri. The non-certificated pilot, who was the sole occupant and
registered owner, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions
prevailed, and a flight plan was not filed for the Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The local flight was originating at the
time of the accident.
According to the local authorities who interviewed the pilot, shortly after
takeoff at 300 feet above ground level (agl), the engine "revved excessively
and power was lost to the propeller." The pilot elected to perform an off
airport forced landing. During the forced landing, the airplane impacted
terrain and sustained substantial damage to the forward fuselage.
