The pilot made a landing approach to runway 9. He said the wind was variable and less than 10 knots. He selected one notch of flaps (15 degrees), and when he flared for landing, the airplane 'floated.' Because of the short runway, he decided to make a go-around. The pilot said he waited too long to make this decision. As the airplane climbed over power lines near the end of the runway, it stalled, the left wing dropped, and the airplane collided with terrain.
Probable Cause: the pilot's delay in initiating a go-around and failure to attain sufficient airspeed to clear obstructions at the departure end of the runway, which resulted in an inadvertent stall and collision with the ground. Factors relating to the accident were: the pilot's failure to attain the proper touchdown point during the landing, and the high obstruction (power lines).
