Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PLT, FLYING THE UNFAMILIAR HOMEBUILT CANARD TYPE ACFT FOR THE FIRST TIME, SAID SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF THE ACFT BEGAN TO BUFFET AND SINK. THE ACFT THEN ENTERED A STEEP BANK AND CONTINUED SINKING UNTIL IT STRUCK THE TERRAIN. CORRECTIVE ATTEMPTS BY THE PLT TO REGAIN CONTROL WERE UNSUCCESSFUL.
