The airplane was attached to the U.S. Army Aviation Technical Test Center (ATTC) at Fort Rucker. It departed for an airworthiness evaluation flight.
During cruise configuration at 5500 feet with gear and flaps up, the crew performed single-engine stalls with the critical engine (right side) shut down and prop feathered. When the aircraft approached stall speed it snap-rolled right about 115 degrees, continued to roll about with the right wing and in a nose-low attitude. At 4000 feet AGL, the aircraft stabilized in a fully inverted position but continued slowly rotating counterclockwise, impacting the ground inverted, nose low, with little forward airspeed and was consumed in a post-crash fire.
