THE ONLY WITNESS THE PLTS WIFE, SAID THAT THE ACFT DROPPED OUT OF THE SKY AND BURST INTO FLAMES WHEN IT HIT THE GROUND. THE PLT WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED AND DOES NOT RECALL ANYTHING ABOUT THE ACCIDENT. THE ACFT WAS A HOME BUILT WHICH WAS BUILTBY THE PLT. THE ENGINE WAS A NEW VW MODEL 2180 WITH 12-15 HOURS OF OPERATING TIME. INSPECTION OF THE WRECKAGE SHOWED LITTLE BECAUSE OF IMPACT AND FIRE DAMAGE.
