The aircraft was observed to be conducting aerobatic maneuvers and during a recovery from a hammerhead the aircraft stalled and entered a nose-low spiraling path towards the ground. During a post-accident examination of the airplane, control continuity was verified for the ailerons, elevator, and rudder. No anomalies, relative to the airplane or its systems, were found that could be associated with a preexisting condition.
Probable Cause: Aircraft control not being maintained by the pilot. Factors to the accident were the aerobatic maneuvers being flown by the pilot and the encountered spiral.
