WITNESSES OBSERVED ACFT PERFORMING AEROBATICS DURING DEMO FLIGHT PRIOR TO PROSPECTIVE SALE OF ACFT TO BUYER/PAX. A PLT/WITNESS OBSERVED THE ACFT EXECUTING SLOW SPEED STALLS AND ENTER A SPIN FROM AN ALTITUDE OF ABOUT 1000 FT. RECOVERY WAS ACCOMPLISHED AT ABOUT 500 FT AGL. WITHOUT REGAINING ALTUTUDE, THE ACFT FLEW ABOUT A MILE IN LEVEL FLIGHT AND THEN ENTERED A LEFT SPIN. RECOVERY AT ABOUT 200 FT AGL SEEMED TO BE IN PROGRESS BUT AS THE ACFT ATTITUDE CAME TO LEVEL FLIGHT, THE NOSE PITCHED UP AND THE ACFT RE-ENTERED A LEFT SPIN TO GROUND IMPACT. INVESTIGATION REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION IN THE ACFT STRUCTURE, POWER PLANT OR SYSTEMS.
