The pilot made an approach to Runway 08 and, during the landing phase, the airspeed decayed too much resulting in a heavy landing. The wind conditions at the airfield were light. The pilot considered that his relative lack of familiarity with this short winged version of the aircraft contributed to the accident. He also commented that a recently fitted four point harness had functioned well and he had received no injury.
