| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was conducting low level maneuvers when the airplane pitched up, then fell off on one wing, entered a spin, and descended rapidly until it impacted the ground at approximately a 90-degree vertical angle. All flight control surfaces were found at the accident scene, and the engine was running until ground impact. The unregistered homebuilt airplane had been disassembled for several years. However, the pilot had reassembled it with some friends over the previous winter, and flew it home from South Carolina on the weekend before the accident.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed during low level maneuvering, which resulted in an inadvertent stall/spin.
