The pilot was observed conducting aerobatic flight over a populated residential area. The aircraft was observed to pitch nose up about 90-degrees, bank to the left 90-degrees, went inverted, and collided with power lines, fence and the ground. Examination of the aircraft wreckage revealed no precrash mechanical failure or malfunction.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control while performing aerobatic flight resulting in an in-flight loss of control, inadvertent stall, and subsequent in-flight collision with power lines, fence, and terrain. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's ostentatious display in performing aerobatic flight over a populated residential area.
