On descending to about 30 feet, the pilot realised he would be unable to stop before the fence at the far end of the strip and therefore initiated a go-around. The terrain beyond the end of the strip sloped uphill and the pilot realised he was going to have trouble clearing the trees ahead. A left turn was initiated, but the aircraft collided with trees before impacting the ground. The passenger was fatally injured and the pilot sustained minor injuries on impact. A subsequent examination revealed that the throttle cable assembly was incorrectly adjusted and was therefore unable to obtain full power.
