The pilot stated that he made visual contact with the destination airport when he was 'several miles out.' He flew a left base for runway 31, close in, and hurried to get things set up for the turn to final. On short final, he noticed that the airplane was extremely fast, and as the airplane approached the runway, the pilot remarked to his passenger that 'something was not right.' He then noticed that the landing gear handle was in the retracted position and initiated a go-around. Simultaneously, he heard scraping as if the airplane had contacted the runway. The pilot stated that he believes 'the prop hit the runway.' During the go-around, the pilot noticed that the airplane would not maintain a positive rate of climb. The pilot initiated an approach to a field, but 'pulled the airplane up' to clear trees and, subsequently, the airplane stalled, impacted the ground, and came to rest upright.
Probable Cause: The inadvertent stall while maneuvering to avoid obstructions during a forced landing. A factor was the pilot's failure to extend the landing gear, which resulted in a partial loss of engine power due to the propeller blades striking the runway.
