Read the full NTSB narrative

The airplane stalled and impacted the ground during a go-around. According to the operator and the pilot, the pilot performed maneuvers during an aerobatic competition, and upon completion of the maneuvers, he landed the airplane on runway 14. The pilot stated that during the 'roll out [his] right foot slipped off of the rudder pedal and [he] lost directional control [of the airplane].' Witnesses reported that the airplane initially 'touched down and bounced,' and then drifted to the left of the runway centerline. The pilot then 'added power,' and the airplane was observed in a 'nose high attitude.' The airplane attained a height 20 feet agl, and the 'left wing dipped down.' Subsequently, the airplane impacted the ground and came to rest in a field.
