Reported aircraft: Aviat Husky A1-B — a different aircraft that carried the N246AM registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's failure to maintain an adequate airspeed while maneuvering at low altitude in a canyon that led to a stall. The pilot's decision to fly along the canyon wall at a low altitude and low energy state was a factor.
