WHILE CLIMBING THROUGH ABOUT 200 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL, THE AIRPLANE ENTERED A SPIN. THE PILOT FURTHER STATED, '. . . ALL I KNOW [IS], THE PLANE WAS FLYING ROUGH AND I TRIED TO TURN RIGHT AND IT STALLED . . . .' ACCORDING TO AN FAA INSPECTOR, THE AIRPLANE RECOVERED FROM THE SPIN AND IMPACTED A BARN. AFTER IMPACT, THE AIRPLANE BEGAN BURNING. DURING A TELEPHONE INTERVIEW WITH AN FAA INSPECTOR, THE PILOT REPORTED THERE WAS NO ENGINE PROBLEM.
