Narrative:The pilot made a low pass over a neighbour's farm then pulled the aircraft into a climb. Suddenly the aircraft began rolling to the right, then descended vertically into the ground. Examination of the aircraft revealed that a structural failure of the right rear wooden wing spar had occurred. The pilot was fatally injured.
The Board determined that the wing failure may have been the result of a previous occurrence involving damage to the right wing that was inadequately inspected both at the time of repair and during subsequent annual inspections.
