The pilot reported that, while transitioning to a new airplane, during takeoff for the first time with his left hand on the control stick and the right hand on the throttle, about 10 ft above the runway, he intended to pitch the nose up to initiate a climb. However, he inadvertently pulled back on the throttle control with his right hand. The airplane's airspeed decreased, the left wing aerodynamically stalled, and the airplane impacted an adjacent corn field.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
