CRASH SITE WAS ABOUT 3,100 FEET MSL. THE PILOT COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY HE
LOST 3,900 FEET OF ALTITUDE PRIOR TO THE CRASH. HE DID NOT REPORT A
LIGHTNING STRIKE,
AND HE WAS IN IMC UNTIL IMPACT. THE REASON FOR THE LOSS OFF ELECTRICAL
POWER
WAS NOT DETERMINED.

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s)
of this accident as follows: THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN ALTITUDE
DURING
CRUISE FLIGHT AFTER LOSS OF ELECTRICAL


I always get a kick out of the FAA determinations: the pilots failure to
keep maintain flight after wing fell off...
