im no expert here but 2 things have occurred to me

the lack of a a running engine suggests that either the aerobatics caused a fuel cutoff in the carb, or that the plane had simply run out of fuel

the fact there was no explosion suggests the latter.

however, something was clearly wrong as a moth should be more than capable of landing safely with no engine, rather than plummeting, unless it had been stalled really badly
