From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Accident pilot experienced strong crosswinds during landing, and was unable to maintain directional control of accident aircraft. Additionally, the left engine lost power during the go-around, which resulted in an uncontrollable single engine condition, which had not been tested on the experimental aircraft.
