Analysis
The plt was conducting a high speed taxi run on a newly built acft when it became airborne. He continued the takeoff & flew the acft for a short period of time, then prepared for a landing with partial power. While on final & about 15 ft AGL, he believed he 'had the rwy made' & reduced power. However, the acft landed short in a muddy field where the wheels dug in & the plane nosed over.
