THE PILOT EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS ON TAKEOFF FROM MOOSEHEAD LAKE, BUT EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO GET AIRBORNE AND FLY TO THE GREENVILLE AIRPORT. THE AIRCRAFT REMAINED ON THE GROUND FOR A FEW HOURS, THEN WAS PREFLIGHTED FOR DEPARAPURE. RUNWAY 21 WAS THE FAVORABLE RUNWAY FOR TAKEOFF. ROTATION AND LIFT-OFF WERE COMMENCED AT 65 KNOTS. THE NOSE WAS LOWERED SLIGHTLY TO GAIN MORE SPEED. HOWEVER, THE AIRPLANE WOULD NOT CLIMB. SUBSEQUENTLY, IT SETTLED INTO TREES IN A CONTROLLED, FULL STALL ATTITUDE, JUST ABOVE THE GROUND. THE PILOT STATED THAT IT WAS A HOT AND HUMID DAY. THE SINGLE ENG LAND PILOT HAD NOT YET OBTAINED A SEAPLANE RATING.
