Tx Chris, I am purely relaying what I read in the KR Newsletter at the time - I took that info as factual. Thank you for the update.

"Powerplant failure for undetermined reasons" is stated in the NTSB synopsis of Ken Rand's fatal accident. https://www.ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviation/brief.aspx?ev_id=37774&key=0 EAA's Sport Aviation March 1979 Hot Line From Headquarters had a notice which detailed weather at the time and included some references to Ken's radio transmissions shortly before the crash. The only icing mentioned is airframe icing after descending into clouds. A number of factors ganged up on him, as is often the case, and tragedy was the result. Pinpointing the cause of loss of power may be in the final report but that is not available from the NTSB, at least not right now. Their archive used to be easier to access and was easily searchable, not so much any more.
