Read the full NTSB narrative
The experimental amateur-built airplane was destroyed on impact with terrain while landing. A post impact fire occurred. A Sheriff's interview stated, "When asked if there was some sort of equipment malfunction or if he knew what the cause of the accident was, [the pilot] stated it was not an equipment malfunction, that he has had a new propeller installed that has a lower pitch, therefore he had to up the RPM'S for the landing and at that point lost control and hit the ground and rolled."
