NTSB Accident & Incident Record
An undetermined failure in the high-pressure fuel system, and the subsequent loss of engine power and in-flight fire. Contributing to the accident were the pilot's restricted visibility due to the smoke in the cockpit, failure of the aileron control during landing flare, and the collapse of the left main landing gear due to the hard landing.
the owner/builder's inadequate modification to the engine air intake system and the inadvertent engine shutdown. Factors included the low air pressure of the air intake system and the excessive fuel flow to the manifold.
