Probable cause
The pilot exceeded the airplane’s critical angle of attack during the initial climb, resulting in an aerodynamic stall from which he could not recover. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s decision to take off with the airplane well above its maximum gross weight and outside of its aft center of gravity limit, as well as a gradual reduction in engine power for undetermined reasons.
