AFTER TAKEOFF THE ACFT CLIMBED TO ABOUT 250 FT AGL & THEN MADE A GRADUAL SHALLOW 180 DEG LEFT TURN HEADING BACK TOWARD THE STRIP. IT GRADUALLY STARTED LOOSING ALTITUDE WITHOUT ANY NOTICABLE VARIATIONS OR DISRUPTIONS IN ITS FLT PATH WHEN IT CLIPPED THE TREES & POWER LINES. THE 6 HRS IN MAKE/MODEL DOES NOT REFLECT ACTUAL FLT TIMES BUT RATHER IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF TRAINING TIME ACCUMULATED GOING UP & DOWN THE RWY PRACTICING PILOT/AIRCRAFT CONTROLABILITY PRIOR TO HIS FIRST SOLO FLT. THERE WAS NO CFI ENDORSEMENT FOR THIS FLT.
