Read the full NTSB narrative
The airplane sustained substantial damage on impact with trees and terrain during climbout. The pilot reported minor injuries. The pilot stated, "No recollection of the accident." A witness stated, "He lifted off about midway and began to climb but he seemed to be a bit slow for a climb. The plane banked slightly to the left away from the tallest tree and then lost altitude and disappeared from my view behind another fence row. I did not observe it flying again and ran to the woods where I suspected I would find the plane. ... My recollection is that the flaps were near full extension as he attempted to climb as they remain now after the crash, probably the same position they were in when he landed the first time." A Cessna 150 manual was reviewed. The manual stated, "Flap deflections of 30 [degrees] and 40 [degrees] are not recommended at any time for take-off."
