A local farmer heard the aircraft engine increase speed and pitch, and then stop. He went to investigate and found the wreck beside a secondary highway. The aircraft had crashed at a high speed and high angle of impact, fatally injuring the pilot. The aircraft was on a local flight at the time. The pilot had purchased the machine approximately one year ago and undergone training.
