Default Expirimental Crash Plant Cityl- No records on file?

About a month ago a friend and I watched an expirimental aircraft crash at
Plant City in Florida.
It was a two seater ultralight, with a registered N number. We even helped
pick up the pieces
so to speak.
The gentleman piloting came in for a landing and I could instantly tell he
was having problems. It appeared
that he stalled the craft, it fell out about 10 feet from the sky, bounced
up hard, then he did a go around.

The second time around it was worse. He stalled it at a higher altitude and
he crashed hard. Bent the back wheels
and frame in two, and the plane was out of commission after that.

Haven't seen any news reports or other info on it. He wasn't hurt, but was
extremley lucky as a landing like he had
could have easily broke his back.

Anyone see anything on it by chance?
