Read the full NTSB narrative

THE ACFT LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE ACFT NOSED OVER AFTER THE ENGINE QUIT DUE TO FUEL STARVATION. THE ENGINE LOST POWER IN A STEEP CLIMB OF AT LEAST A 45 DEG ANGLE AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE FUEL FLOWS TO THE ENGINE BY GRAVITY. IN A STEEP CLIMB THE FUEL SUPPLY IS LOWER THAN THE CARBURETOR AND THE FUEL CANNOT REACH THE ENGINE. A STARTER WAS NOT INSTALLED.
