John and all,
There is some speculation by locals that he became unconscious, He was 72.

I knew Jerry. He was originally from the Minneapolis area. He completed his Mark II in 1989 and I test flew it for him. He had an accident in it when the 503 air cleaner became saturated with water during a rain the night before. The engine ran rough on takeoff and he tried a downwind landing in a short field and damaged the aircraft, but wasn't hurt.
Jerry retired and moved to Tennessee about 15 years ago and had the aircraft registered there.
I will try and get more details about this accident.

I don't believe that water in the air cleaner from a rain shower earlier in the day would have caused the 503 engine to run rough. I have flown my MK III through rain, and no problem with the filters getting wet, even sucking water inside them.
Even if the filters were totally soaked with water, any water would have been very well sucked out of them before the airplane even broke ground at full throttle.

I have experienced on at least two occasions now that I have had low RPM on
full throttle at take off and on both these occasions removing the air
filter fixed the problem.The first time was at a fly in to a car race track
I landed on the back straight. The Kolb MK111 with 503 was parked up for
about 3 hours in misty showery weather. When I went to depart the engine did
not reach its normal rpm. I aborted the take off and removed the air cleaner
and the problem disappeared. When the air cleaner dried out and was put back
on it worked fine.I find the air cleaner needs washed in hot/warm soppy
water about every 25 hrs .
I believe that water from a shower would/could make the engine run rough. I
would need to have more information to form an opinion in this case. I have
never experienced this problem by simply flying through rain.
