## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

UNCERTIFICATED PILOT DEPARTED RUNWAY 11 FOR HIS FIRST FLIGHT IN ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ EXPERIMENTAL AMATEUR BUILD AIRCRAFT (N8010B). AFTER TURNING LEFT DOWN WIND, THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISES, SPUTTERED AND STALLED. AFTER SEVERAL RESTART ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE RE-STARTED AND THEN STALLED AGAIN. THE PILOT STATED HE GAVE UP TRYING TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND LOOKED FOR A SPOT TO DO AN EMERGENCY LANDING AND GLIDE THE AIRCRAFT. AFTER GLIDING TO AN EMPTY GRASS FIELD, THE LANDING GEAR GRABBED TALL GRASS CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO FLIP TAIL OVER NOSE. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO LANDING GEAR STRUT ATTACH POINT, COMPLETELY COMPRESS AND LEFT WING SPAR.

THE PILOT STATED THE REASON THE ENGINE QUIT WAS DUE TO HIM PUTTING THE INCORRECT FUEL IN THE AIRCRAFT PRIOR TO FLIGHT. HE ADDED STRAIGHT GAS AND THE 2 STROKE ROTAX TAKES OIL/GAS MIX.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
