THE PILOT WAS FLYING THE AIRPLANE FROM THE REAR SEAT. HE STATED THAT AFTER CLEARING THE TREE LINE ON FINAL APPROACH, HE PLACED THE AIRPLANE INTO A SLIP TO LOSE ALTITUDE. ABOUT TWENTY TO THIRTY FEET ABOVE THE GROUND, TURBULENCE INADVERTENTLY CAUSED HIM TO PULL THE CONTROL STICK FROM ITS MOUNTING PLACE ON THE CABIN FLOOR. THE AIRPLANE IMPACTED THE GROUND IN A NOSE LOW ATTITUDE, BOUNCED, AND CAME TO REST INVERTED. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE FAILED TO SECURE THE STICK WITH THE SAFETY PIN BEFORE FLIGHT. NO PREIMPACT MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS WERE REPORTED BY THE PILOT.
