Probable cause
The failure of the pilot to maintain control of the airplane by exceeding the airplane’s critical angle of attack while maneuvering in a turning climb at a low altitude, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and spin from which the pilot was unable to recover. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s use of methamphetamine and decision to perform aerobatics below the required minimum altitude.
