The pilot stated the airplane stalled shortly after takeoff at an altitude of 50 feet, and then contacted the ground. Each wing of the experimental airplane had been shortened by 3 feet, and a heavier landing gear installed by the builder, who was also the pilot. No adjustment to performance data had been done.
