The pilot stated that this was his first time flying the light sport airplane, and he was getting familiarized with the airplane's flight and landing characteristics. He completed one uneventful landing. On the second landing, he did not maintain airspeed, and the airplane stalled just before touchdown. A witness reported that, as the airplane was approaching to land, its right wing dropped and impacted the ground. The airplane then spun toward the right before the nose section impacted the ground and sustained substantial damage. The pilot stated that there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions of the airplane or any of its systems prior to the accident.
Probable Cause: The pilot did not maintain airspeed during approach to landing, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.
