The pilot reported that he had just taken off and made a climbing left turn to downwind to practice a touch-and-go landing. The pilot stated that he was unclear as to what happened, but thought that he let the aircraft get too slow and the wing stalled. Witnesses on the ground reported that the airplane made a 'sharp left turn' while turning onto final approach. The airplane nosed-down and descended into the terrain. There was no evidence found to indicate a mechanical failure or malfunction.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed.
