Hi Gang
The NTSB preliminary report can be found he

It sure suggests a stall and spin turning final.

Description is also consistent with 360 degree turn when pilot sees he
is too high- followed shortly by going from too high to too low
and then starting to force the turn, leading to stall or stall/spin.
Alternate speculation consistent with a common "stupid pilot trick".
FWIW- not much

Would be interesting to know if this was a power-on or power-off landing
and a soaring flight or were they motoring between airports. The
BLIPMAPS archives for that day may allow the possibility of a soaring
flight but I don't know how aggressive these guys would be in a
relatively low-glide performance touring mototglider. If the motoglider
has been under power it might be more unusual to keep the engine running
during landing but depends on their descent profile, it might have been
decided its just easier to shut down and descend.
