Analysis
After performing hi speed taxi tests, the plt of a new home built acft took off on the acft's 1st flt. After taking off,he realized something was wrong; however, by then, the acft was past the dep end of the rwy at 50 to 75 ft AGL & would not climb any higher. The plt tried to turn, but in a turn, the nose would drop. The acft was soon apchg a power line, so the plt 'cut' the eng power & the acft crashed in a bean field. An inv revealed the acft was loaded with the center-of-gravity (CG) 1.93 inches ahead of the forward limit.
