The pilot was conducting an aerial spraying operation when he elected to spray a corner of the crop that was near trees, some of which were about 25 metres tall. The pilot misjudged his turn onto the run alignment, necessitating a steep approach. Once the aircraft was at spray height, the pilot placed the aircraft into a steep climb in order to fly clear of a tree. During the pull-up, the aircraft stalled and impacted the tree, coming to rest inverted on the ground. The pilot was uninjured and the aircraft was substantially damaged.
