The pilot dragged a wing while performing during an air show. As the pilot was executing a series of low altitude slow rolls, about 35 feet above ground level (agl), the left wing contacted the runway. The airplane then impacted the runway inverted and slid to a stop. No mechanical malfunctions were reported prior to the mishap.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain an adequate clearance with the runway during a low altitude aerobatic maneuver.
