AFTER MAKING TWO PRACTICE VFR APPROACHES WITHOUT TOUCHDOWN, THE PILOT REQUESTED A FULL STOP LANDING. HE SAID THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED AND HE LOST RUNWAY ALIGNMENT, SO HE ELECTED TO GO-AROUND. ALSO, HE SAID THAT AT ABOUT 20 FT AGL, HE LOST CONTROL OF THE ACFT, IT STALLED, THEN IT ROLLED INVERTED AND COLLIDED WITH THE TERRAIN. THE PILOT SUFFERED A BROKEN ARM. HE HAD ACCUMULATED A TOTAL FLIGHT TIME OF 86 HRS, OF WHICH, TWO HRS WERE IN THIS TAILWHEEL CONFIGURED, HOME-BUILT AIRCRAFT. THIS WAS A FLIGHT TO ESTABLISH THE FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT HAD TWO HRS FLIGHT TIME IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF AIRCRAFT.
Probable Cause: PREMATURE LIFT-OFF AND INADVERTENT STALL BY THE PILOT. A LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND AN INADVERTENT GROUND SWERVE BY THE PILOT WERE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS.
