Probable cause
The pilot’s exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack and failure to maintain airspeed while recovering from an aerobatic maneuver, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and loss of control. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s use of ethanol and other depressant medications, and his decision to operate the airplane outside of the published weight limitations.
