Narrative:THE PLT REPORTED THAT HE HAD JUST FINISHED SEVERAL SHORT FLIGHTS ON THE RECENTLY CERTIFIED HOMEBUILT ACFT TO FLY OFF THE HR RESTRICTION. HE HAD COMPLETED THE SHUTDOWN CHECKLIST AND HAD THE FUEL VALVE SHUT OFF. HE RESTARTED THE ENG WITHOUT THE CHECKLIST TO MAKE ANOTHER FLT AND TOOK OFF INADVERTENTLY LEAVING THE FUEL VALVE OFF. THE ACFT CLIMBED ABOUT 50 FT PRIOR TO FUEL STARVATION. THE ACFT LANDED STRAIGHT AHEAD AND STRUCK TREES AT THE END OF THE RWY. THE PLT STATED THAT THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED THROUGH 'A CARELESS OVERSIGHT ON MY PART... THE USE OF THE CHECKLIST AND POSSIBLY A LESS HASTY DEPARTURE WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE ACCIDENT.'
