During the landing phase, in the flare, the aircraft dropped quickly onto the farm airstrip. The pilot suspects that he was caught by a slight windshear in the flare, and this caused him to touch down short on a small knoll. The heavy landing caused minor damage to the undercarriage support brackets and suspension.
