The pilot had just purchased the airplane and hired the flight instructor to give him some lessons before he flew home. He took off and performed several maneuvers before coming back to the airport to practice full stop landings. He said the final landing was smooth, but during the rollout, his left foot slipped off the rudder pedal while his right foot was still pressing on the right rudder pedal. The airplane swerved to the right, departed the runway, and came to rest in a wheat field. During the accident sequence, the right main and nose landing gear collapsed, and the lower fuselage and firewall were substantially damaged.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.
