THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH TWO PARKED ACFT AFTER THE STUDENT PILOT LOST CONTROL DURING A GO-AROUND. THE STUDENT STATED THAT DURING HIS FIRST LANDING OF THE DAY THE ACFT STARTED TO 'SLIDE SIDEWAYS' AND HE ELECTED TO GO-AROUND. HE INCREASED THE THROTTLE AND THE ACFT DRIFTED OFF THE RUNWAY AND EVENTUALLY BECAME AIRBORNE. HE THEN REALIZED THAT HE STILL HAD THE FLAPS IN THE FULL DOWN POSITION. REMEMBERING THAT HIS FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR TOLD HIM IT WAS WRONG TO TAKE OFF WITH FULL FLAPS, THE STUDENT PILOT RETRACTED THE FLAPS TO THE FULL UP POSITION. THE ACFT SETTLED ONTO THE RAMP AREA AND THE STUDENT ATTEMPTED TO TAKE OFF AGAIN BY APPLYING FULL POWER. THE ACFT ACCELERATED AND STRUCK TWO PARKEDACFT.
