Reported aircraft: Ken Seright Rotorway Exec 162F — a different aircraft that carried the N711KN registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: a leaking coolant hose that saturated the induction air filter and one electronic ignition system with coolant. Unsuitable terrain for a forced landing was a related factor in the accident.
