Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PILOT PERFORMED A SOFT FIELD TAKEOFF ON A GRASS STRIP IN WINDS GUSTING TO 34 KTS. THE AIRPLANE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IN GROUND EFFECT, NOR WOULD IT CLIMB. FEELING THAT HE COULD NOT OUT-CLIMB OBJECTS IN HIS PATH, THE PILOT TURNED TO THE RIGHT. AS HE TURNED HE RETRACTED FLAPS. THE AIRCRAFT DECELERATED AND COLLIDED WITH THE TERRAIN.
