DURING A LOCAL PLEASURE/AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY FLIGHT, THE PILOT FAILED TO HANDLE THE AIRCRAFT PROPERLY. SUBSEQUENTLY THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SUFFICIENT AIRSPEED AND/OR ALTITUDE TO REMAIN CLEAR OF OBSTACLES. THE AIRCRAFT WAS CONFIGURED FOR SLOW FLIGHT AS THE PILOT AND PASSENGER FLEW BY THE PASSENGER'S HOUSE FOR PHOTOS: FULL FLAPS EXTENDED, REDUCED POWER SETTINGS, AND CARBURETOR HEAT 'OFF'. AFTER THE SECOND FLY-BY, THE PILOT ADDED FULL POWER AND ATTEMPTED TO RESUME NORMAL CRUISE CONFIGURATION, BUT WAS UNABLE TO ADEQUATELY CONTROL THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO SETTLE/'MUSH' TO THE GROUND, COLLIDING WITH A TREE AS IT DESCENDED, THEN IMPACTING THE GROUND IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA.
