What are the odds that the pilot stalled the aircraft and the engine was
performing just fine? Writers often miss the fact that the word
"stalled" has an additional meaning in the aviation realm.

My thoughts exactly. What's the bet he tried to climb too steeply and
stalled it, dropped the nose as per his training, and found he wasn't as
high as he had hoped. I bet the engine was still running as he hit the
ground, and it's the journalist that's stalled.

My thoughts as well.
Departure stall - pretty unforgiving close to the ground.
When the journalist heard the word "stall" (s)he assumed the pilot, once
again, simply released the clutch too quickly and stalled the engine!
Journalists often make this mistake.

Judging from the town names, this accident happened in Vermont.
Post Mills is a tiny little grass strip.
