Read the full NTSB narrative

ON DEPARTURE THE PILOT STATED THAT THE LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT FULLY AND THE ENGINE DID NOT SEEM TO BE PRODUCING FULL POWER SO HE ELECTED TO RETURN TO THE AIRPORT. DURING THE TURN FROM BASE TO FINAL APPROACH, FLAPS WERE EXTENDED TO THE FULL POSITION. THE SINK RATE BECAME EXCESSIVE AND THE FLAPS WERE RETRACTED TO 10 DEGREES. THIS DID NOT EFFECTIVELY DECREASE THE SINK RATE SO THE THROTTLE WAS PUSHED FULL IN. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN APRX 100 YARDS SHORT OF THE RUNWAY, COLLIDED WITH A DITCH AND THEN WENT THRU A FENCE, NOSED OVER AND CAME TO REST INVERTED.
