Probable Cause
The loss of aircraft control precipitated by the pilot's inadvertent stall. Factors associated with the accident are the disengagement of the stabilizer trim system, which resulted in reduced aircraft control, an inadvertent stall by the pilot, and a large set of moose antlers attached to the left float, which disrupted the airflow over the stabilizer.
