Reported aircraft: Grice Avid Flyer — a different aircraft that carried the N312GR registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot failed to maintain aircraft control during the forced landing. A factor associated with the accident was the excessive adjustment that the pilot made to the propeller's pitch prior to the flight.
