The amateur-built airplane was substantially damaged during a hard landing. The pilot reported he was at the downwind-base corner of the traffic pattern when he initiated a power-off approach. He stated the descent rate was quite steep, estimating it as 30 degrees relative to the terrain. As the aircraft approached touchdown, the pilot noted that it slowed faster than anticipated. He stated: "I pulled back on the stick to come [in] at [a smaller] angle and the plane did not respond." The aircraft subsequently hit nose first, breaking the nose wheel. The pilot indicated there were no failures or malfunctions with the aircraft prior to the accident. In addition, he stated that the aircraft performed normally during his previous flights in the aircraft.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper flare.
