A privately registered amateur built Rutan Long-EZ, was on a flight from St. Thomas Municipal Airport (CYQS), Ontario, to Dutton Airport (CDT7) Ontario, with the pilot as the sole occupant. During the downwind for runway 21 the engine (Lycoming O-235-L2C) began running rough, and as the pilot turned base, the engine failed. The pilot flew directly to the threshold of the runway while attempting a restart and switching fuel tanks, but landed approximately 50 feet short,
striking a stack of plywood on the unfinished main floor of a house under construction. The fuel tanks were not breached, and there was no post crash fire. A neighbor responded within minutes, and the local fire department arrived shortly afterwards. The pilot received serious injuries to both legs during the impact and was airlifted to hospital.
