Analysis
The home built acft had just been constructed & the plt was making hi speed taxi checks. On the 3rd check, he applied full power, intending to accelerate to a target speed of 60 mph. He reduced the power before reaching that speed; however, the acft inadvertently 'bolted' into the air to an alt of about 40 ft. the plt reduced power further & the acft contacted the ground & began porpoising. It then went to the left & collided with a tractor.
