Overview
A pilot was maneuvering to land on a grass strip adjacent to the main runway. After turning right base, the pilot became aware of a glider reporting its position on left downwind for the same landing area. To allow the glider to land first, the pilot elected to overshoot the final turn.
Sequence of Events
During the subsequent final turn, the pilot allowed the airspeed to decay, causing the airplane to begin stalling. The pilot applied full engine power, but the airplane continued to descend and impacted the ground. The impact collapsed the right main landing gear. The forward fuselage sustained substantial damage during the accident sequence.
Mechanical Examination
Post-accident examination revealed no mechanical anomalies with the engine or airframe.
