According to a sheriff's incident report, a witness observed the experimental amateur-built biplane perform a roll and then enter into a loop. The report indicated that, as 'the plane was coming out of the loop, it did not have enough altitude and that is when it struck the ground." The airplane sustained substantial damage when it impacted a field. An examination of the airplane wreckage revealed no mechanical anomalies.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from the ground during an aerobatic maneuver.
