After a short field take-off, the airplane began to climb. When it reached the end of the runway, at 100 feet above the ground, it started a 10- to15-degree bank turn to the left. It simultaneously pitched up, slowed down and stalled, and the left wing and nose pitched down toward the ground. The wings then began to level, and the airplane appeared to be recovering from the dive when it struck the ground in a flat attitude. Post-accident examination revealed that the sealed bearing that connected the front seat control column to the aileron/elevator push-pull tube was missing. The airplane had recently undergone an annual maintenance inspection.
Probable Cause: A missing flight control sealed bearing, which resulted in a loss of control in flight.
