Incident Overview
The accident occurred during a demonstration event at an airport, where the aircraft was one of four performing flybys. The pilot stated that while flying at a slow speed at an altitude of approximately 80 to 85 feet above ground level (AGL), the aircraft began to lose altitude and sink.
Position Relative to Other Aircraft
At the time of the descent, the aircraft was positioned about 1,000 to 1,500 feet behind, to the right, and 20 feet below a Cessna 175.
Pilot Response
Upon noticing the sink, the pilot applied full power in an attempt to arrest the descent. However, the aircraft still made contact with the ground, touching down momentarily. It then became airborne again but was unable to gain altitude. With the airport behind the aircraft and airspeed low, the pilot decided to land in a clear area ahead.
Final Sequence
During the landing attempt, the aircraft struck a wire fence and subsequently nosed over.
Environmental Conditions
The ambient temperature at the time was 91 degrees Fahrenheit, and the airport elevation was 1,045 feet.
