| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
Several witnesses observed the airplane flying above the tree line, when the nose suddenly dropped and the airplane descended in a near-vertical attitude to the ground. One witness observed the airplane performing 'S' turns over a road just before he heard the sound of the collision. Other witnesses heard the engine operating at 'full throttle' or 'wound-up' as the aircraft was descending. During the post-crash inspection of the wreckage, no evidence of a mechanical failure or malfunction was found.
Probable Cause: Aircraft control was not maintained while maneuvering at low altitude. An inadvertent stall was a factor.
