The airplane collided with the ground during an aerial application and came to rest inverted. During crop dusting operations, the pilot was flying along the north edge of a field, spraying from west to east. About midfield, the airplane entered a steep bank to the right, and the right wing tip impacted the ground. The pilot stated that he was flying and looked toward the right wing "for some reason." Shortly thereafter, the right wing tip impacted the ground. No engine problems were reported. Control continuity could not be established due to impact damage sustained in the accident sequence. The pilot said he could offer no explanation as to why the aircraft banked to the right.
Probable Cause: a loss of control for undetermined reasons.
