Reported aircraft: Gansheimer Evans VP2 — a different aircraft that carried the N187ES registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the pilot's failure to attain and maintain sufficient flying speed during the first flight test of his experimental homebuilt. A factor in the accident was the pilot's selection of a propeller inadequate for the airframe and engine combination.
