Crashed during Air Meeting.
The most likely cause of the accident was poor control of the aircraft's speed, which was probably already critical at the start of the turn because of the oblique attack trajectory, and was brought to its stall value by the steepness of the turn and the relatively high load factor associated with the 40° turn; the high temperature was an aggravating factor.
