THE PILOT WAS INEXPERIENCED IN THIS TYPE OF AIRCRAFT, RECEIVING ONLY 3.1 HOURS DUAL INSTRUCTION PRIOR TO THIS FLIGHT.  TWO WITNESSES STATED THAT THEY SAW THE AIRCRAFT SPIRALING TO THE GROUND BEFORE IMPACTING IN A CORNFIELD.  IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE PILOT HAD CONDUCTED "HIGH SPEED TAXIS" AT THE ADJACENT GRASS RUNWAY TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT.
