The pilot had had this aircraft for 3 weeks prior to the crash. He had stayed close to his home airport and wanted to do an endurance test to a nearby city and back without landing. The pilot had been flying for roughly 45 minutes and was 5 miles away from his airport. He didn't have enough fuel to make it to his home airport so he decided to do a preventative landing in a sod field. As he was turning from base to final he turned too steeply and stalled the aircraft 80 feet above the ground and hit the surface doing 70 knots. The broken nose cone trapped his feet In the fuselage for 45 minutes until first responders found him. He was able to call 911 himself and only suffered a broken talus bone.
