The airplane impacted terrain during an uncontrolled descent. The pilot advised air traffic control of a vacuum failure during climb in an overcast layer of clouds. The pilot then received and accepted a turn to an assigned heading. The aircraft was equipped with vacuum powered attitude indicator and electrically powered turn and slip indicator. The aircraft's vacuum pump was found to operate. A vacuum gyro found at the wreckage site displayed evidence of rotation.
Probable Cause: the aircraft control not maintained by the pilot and the pilot exceeded the design limits of the aircraft. The clouds and night conditions were contributing factors.
