Ok now you are just trolling. This thing is a piston powered ultra-light, there are numerous factors that could result in the lawnmower engine not producing spec performance, one of hundreds if not thousands of possibilities is pilot error. Armchair crash investigators are the worst, might have to pay a visit to the gear grinding thread.
Had a similar argument following the F-18 crash in Lethbridge where someone was certain that it was pilot/control input error. That turned out to be a mechanical issue and the pilot was found to be without fault.
