Probable cause

The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed while maneuvering for landing, which resulted in an exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack and a subsequent stall/spin. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's distraction due to a failure with the airplane's electrical system, failure to follow emergency procedures and to continue with a known electrical problem.
