The experimental amateur-built airplane was destroyed by fire during its taxi to parking after a landing. The pilot stated, "After reaching pattern altitude I turned on boost pump and approach flaps, and opened cowl flaps. I then pulled power back to enter upwind. Engine felt like it was going to quit. I entered down wind and pulled throttle back all the way. I landed and turned on to taxi way. There was smoke coming out of instrument panel. I shut down everything and got out of plane to check front of plane. Engine was still turning over then it stopped. I went back inside to get fire extinguisher. I went back outside and shot extinguisher up cow flaps. Could not stop fire and plane was destroyed." Examination of the wreckage did not reveal the source of the fire.
