AIRMAN WAS OPERATING AN EXPERIMENTAL HOME BUILD BUGATTI-DEMONGE 100P.  THIS AIRCRAFT WAS ONE OF ONLY 2 BUILT AND N110PX WAS THE ONLY ONE TO EVER FLY ON 2 OTHER OCCASIONS.

THE PILOT MAINTAINED GROUND AFFECT AS HE RETRACTED THE GEAR AS IT WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HAD RETRACTED IT DURING FLIGHT.  ONCE THE GEAR WAS UP THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED IN GROUND AFFECT FOR JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER BEFORE CLIMBING OUT.  IT WAS OBSERVED THAT EVEN WHILE IN GROUND AFFECT THE AIRCRAFT SEEMED TO BE TRAVELING AT A SLOW AIRSPEED.  THIS SLOW AIRSPEED CONTINUED DURING THE CLIMB.

ONCE STRAIGHTENED OUT THE AIRCRAFT SNAPPED VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT IN AN APPARENT STALL.  THE AIRCRAFT IMPACTED THE GROUND IN A FARMERS FIELD AND IMMEDIATELY CAUGHT FIRE.  THE PILOT DID NOT SURVIVE.
