The airplane was destroyed upon impact with the ground following an in-flight loss of control. A witness reported seeing the airplane make a right turn, and as it did it "turned vertical with the ground, spun back the other way and the nose went towards the ground. It just did a nose dive." The witness reported that the airplane was at a low altitude. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions of the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed which resulted in an inadvertent stall/spin. The low altitude was a factor.
