The aircraft departed KSDL and proceeded north. A short time later, about 5.75 miles north of KSDL, a witness observed the aircraft flying about 800 ft above the ground in a wingover-type maneuver. The maneuver could not be completed before the aircraft struck the ground.
The NTSB cited the pilot's unwarranted low flying and his misjudgment of the aircraft's clearance from terrain as factors in the accident.
