Incident Overview
A pilot reported that he had performed a practice candy drop pass over a field at an altitude of about 300 ft above the ground. During the subsequent climbing turn, which was banked at 30° to the right, the pilot stated that he "neglected [the] airspeed," resulting in an aerodynamic stall. The airplane then descended, struck trees, and impacted the ground in an inverted attitude.
Aircraft Damage
The accident sequence caused substantial damage to the left wing and empennage of the airplane. The pilot further reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Pilot Report
The pilot provided the account of the event, noting that the intention was to circle back to the field after the candy drop pass. The stall occurred during the climbing turn, and the subsequent impact with trees and terrain resulted in the inverted final position. No other information regarding injuries, weather, or specific aircraft details was provided by the pilot.
