Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed following a partial loss of engine power during initial climb, which resulted in the airplane exceeding its critical angle of attack and experiencing an aerodynamic stall. Also causal was the mechanic's inadequate inspection of the airplane fuel system, which resulted in the partial loss of engine power due to fuel contamination.
