Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
This was the pilot's first flight in the new home built aircraft. He had no previous flight time in this make and model and had no previous flight experience in aircraft with canard airfoils. He stated that after lift-off, the aircraft began to porpoise, and he was unable to dampen out the oscillation. The aircraft was approaching high lines and was near the stall speed, so the pilot elected to reduce the power, fly under the lines and land in a field. During the landing, the main wheel hit a 1 ft mound of dirt and broke the left canard near the fuselage. Subsequently, the propeller and engine cowling were damaged.
