Witnesses reported that the homebuilt airplane swerved and "zig-zagged" during the landing roll. The airplane departed the runway, crossed a parking area, and collided with a parked airplane. According to the pilot owner, "I was landing on Runway 05 with a little bit of a right crosswind. I didn't fully correct, ran off the left side of the runway, and struck a parked aircraft. I had a passenger with me, and because I didn't have a lot of experience with passengers, I carried a little extra speed, and that probably contributed." The pilot said there were no mechanical deficiencies with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing.
