Narrative:The airplane was destroyed when it impacted terrain following a loss of control while maneuvering in the traffic pattern. The aircraft had just completed a touch and go and was turning from the upwind to the crosswind leg of the traffic pattern. Witnesses to the accident saw the airplane make a steep right turn prior to spiraling to the ground. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies that could be associated with a pre-impact condition. It was reported that the airplane was purchased on June 16, 2001. The pilot was the flight instructor of the new owner. The owner was not aboard the airplane when the accident occurred.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane resulting in the inadvertent stall/spin. A factor was the pilot's unfamiliarity with the airplane.
