Ventus 3F - Fatal

National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Preliminary Report The glider was equipped with a FLARM electronic flight collision alerting device, which records flight track, altitude, and airspeed. About 11 seconds prior to impact with the ground, the glider entered a left hand descending spiral at an airspeed of 48 knots, which continued to ground impact. https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/Re...atorFile.ashx? EventID=20180710X25659&AKey=1&RType=HTML&IType=FA . Doesn't really sound like a stall/spin from low altitude. Sounds more like the behavior of a glider trimmed for an off-field landing with no one at the controls.
