Cause: The cause of the accident was the failure of the port engine, just after the aircraft became airborne, which resulted in the aircraft being unable to climb away. The engine failure was caused by fuel starvation probably due to mismanagement of the fuel system by the pilot.
dont ask me how I know but a magneto with a leaking oil seal can give the exact same engine characteristics.
I wonder how many times the magnetos were ever checked?
