Stefan, you should have tried harder to resist...
I hope we can learn some more details soon, as I am sure there were many eye witnesses. In particular, if this was a case of trying to stretch the glide to make it back to the field or yet another unexplained, mysterious dreaded stall spin which keeps claiming the most experience pilots.
