Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control while performing aerobatic flight resulting in an in-flight loss of control, inadvertent stall, and subsequent in-flight collision with power lines, fence, and terrain. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's ostentatious display in performing aerobatic flight over a populated residential area.
