Incident Overview
A pilot reported flying a single-engine airplane over a family member's ranch at low altitude in a slow flight configuration. While proceeding northbound, the pilot attempted to regain airspeed and noticed transmission lines that had previously been visually obstructed by the sun. To avoid the lines, the pilot pulled back on the control yoke. The airplane subsequently stalled and descended uncontrolled to the ground.
Pilot Statement
The pilot stated that there were no mechanical abnormalities that would have precluded normal operation of the airplane prior to the accident. No other information regarding the aircraft, operator, or location was provided.
Sequence of Events
