(-23) PILOT STATES THIS WAS THE FIRST FLIGHT AFTER INSTALLING A NEW GLASS COCKPIT AND ADDING A SECOND ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM.

THE PILOT COMPLETED AN EMERGENCY LANDING INTO A WIONTE WHEAT FIELD COLLAPSING THE GEAR SYSTEM DAMAGING THE FUSELAGE AND WHOLEING THE LEADING EDGE OF THE LEFT WING AT THE TIP.
