Narrative:The 1,220-hour pilot lost control of the single-engine airplane while maneuvering at a low altitude over an area leased for deer hunting. No flight plan was filed, and the airplane was not reported missing until the following day. No radio transmissions or distress calls were received, and there were no reported eyewitnesses to the accident. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, with more than 10 miles of visibility. The airplane came to rest in a near vertical position with the engine and nose section driven into the ground. Flight control continuity was established at the accident site, and no evidence of preimpact mechanical failure or malfunction was observed.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed resulting in an inadvertent stall/spin. A contributing factor was the low altitude.
