Introduction
A pilot reported an accident during a low-level pass. The airplane was not equipped with a stall warning system, nor was it required to be. No preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airframe or engine were reported.
Sequence of Events
While performing a low-level pass parallel to the runway, the pilot allowed himself to become distracted. The airplane began drifting to the right. The pilot found himself "fighting the controls not realizing I cross controlled the control surfaces." He felt a sink develop and applied full power with right rudder, but the right wing "unloaded." The pilot attempted to recover, but the airplane was too low and too slow, and an aerodynamic stall occurred. The airplane subsequently impacted a grass field.
Aircraft Damage
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing and the fuselage.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airframe and engine that would have precluded normal operation.
