Narrative:
The pilot aborted a takeoff on a soft grass field airstrip approximately 2,000 feet in length after noting that at over 1/2 down the runway the airplane would not rotate. The pilot stated that he did not perform a rolling takeoff and used 10 degrees of flaps. Federal Aviation Administration advisory information states that a rolling takeoff be performed on soft fields. The airplane manufacturer's checklist for short field takeoffs cites a trailing edge flap setting of 20 degrees.

Probable Cause: the takeoff checklist not followed and the inadequete soft field takeoff proecedure by the pilot. The short/soft field was a factor.
