Read the full NTSB narrative

THE AIRCRAFT CRASHED WHILE THE PILOT WAS PERFORMING AN AEROBATIC ROUTINE AT AN AIRSHOW. AFTER ABOUT 7 MINUTES IN AN 8 MINUTE ACT, THE PILOT PERFORMED AN 8-POINT ROLL AT ABOUT 200 FT AGL, THEN PULLED UP INTO A HAMMERHEAD STALL. AFTER A HAMMERHEAD TURN TO THE LEFT, THE AIRCRAFT ENTERED A SPIN AND CRASHED. A FRIEND REPORTED THAT ABOUT ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, THE PILOT HAD COMPLAINED OF HAVING BLACKOUTS WHILE FLYING AEROBATICS; HOWEVER, A PATHOLOGICAL EXAMINATION REVEALED NO MEDICAL PROBLEMS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A BLACKOUT.
