The pilot stated that due to a spacing request from air traffic control, he elected to perform a 360-degree turn while on final approach to landing. He initiated a climbing right turn, but the airplane 'wouldn't come out of the bank and…entered a stalled spin.†The airplane collided with terrain, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing spar. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact failures or malfunctions of the airplane's controls or engine, and examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed no evidence of any pre-impact mechanical anomalies.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed during a climbing turn, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.
