| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot stated that while landing, he became low on the approach and added power to correct. The pilot then 'cut' the power and continued the approach. As the airplane neared the ground, it hit a 3-foot high hill with the landing gear and flipped over on its back. This was the pilot's first flight in the homebuilt airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to obtain the proper touchdown point. A factor in the accident was the pilot's lack of experience in make and model.
