Oh...there are discussions about it. It's all over the FB boards... East Coast Pilots.
 
This is the Cheetah, right? The various Grumman groups have been all over this. At first, the speculation was a climbout issue (Cheetahs are poor climbers and this was a short runway with trees at the end), but it appears the pilot got to about 1800'. It was pretty low IFR, so others have been thinking either the pilot wasn't used to using the G5s that were recently installed or that maybe an engine malfunction did it.
