Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PLT/OWNER STATED THAT THE HOME BUILT ACFT HAD POOR FORWARD VISIBILITY, WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH FLAPS & REQUIRED A HIGH APCH SPEED. ALSO, HE SAID IT TENDED TO FLOAT AFTER FLARING TO LAND & HAD POOR BRAKES. ADDITIONALLY, THE ARPT ELEVATION WAS 5270 FT & THE TEMP WAS 79 DEG. SINCE THE RWY WAS SHORT FOR THIS ACFT, HE MADE A LOW FINAL APCH AT THE MIN APCH SPEED. WHILE ON FINAL, HIS SINK RATE INCREASED SUDDENLY. THE PLT APPLIED POWER, BUT THE TURBOCHARGED ENG WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE. THE ACFT STRUCK TREES ABOUT 50 FT SHORT OF THE RWY & CRASHED.
