A witness stated that he was about 900 to 1,000 feet, and N707JK was about 400 to 500 feet below, in a position forward of his airplane's wing, such that N707JK was in constant view while flying in a loose formation. The witness said he saw left rudder movement on N707JK, and N707JK yawed to the left, yawed to the right, and then the nose dipped slightly and N707JK disappeared immediately in the canopy of trees. Within several seconds the witness said he was over the area where N707JK had disappeared, but he could not see anything due to the trees. He then increased his altitude, and made a radio communications call, declaring an emergency. Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that that the rod end bearing on the elevator push/pull tube had disconnected from the rear cockpit's control stick, resulting in a loss of elevator control, and the connecting clevis bolt, castle nut, and cotter key were never recovered.
Probable Cause: Separation of the elevator push/pull tube from the rear cockpit's control stick for undetermined reasons, which resulted in a loss of elevator control, an uncontrolled descent, and an impact with trees.
