As the pilot initiated a left turn, he experienced buffeting of the airplane. Then, the airplane began to shake violently, and entered a moderate left turn. After several control and power inputs, the pilot was unable to maintain altitude, or correct the left turn. He made a forced landing to a field. During the landing, the propeller, left main landing gear, and right wing sustained damage. Examination of the wreckage by a Federal Aviation Administration Inspector, and a local mechanic, did not reveal any pre-impact mechanical malfunctions. The right wing ant-drag rod was separated, but was consistent with the impact damage to the leading edge of the wing. Additionally, the airplane was not equipped with a stall warning system.
Probable Cause: The pilot-in-command's failure to maintain adequate airspeed which resulted in an inadvertent stall.
