It had nothing to do with maintenance.

Aircraft wings (including aerobatic aircraft) are designed to withstand higher G forces when flying upright than when flying inverted.

If you noticed, the wing snapped off when the aircraft was flying inverted.
The aircraft was pulling very high G forces when inverted and appeard to exceed the aircraft's limit. BTW I belive the aircrft wasa kit built aifcraft.

BTW, these wing faiilures are absolutely horrible!
