WITNESSES OBSERVED THE ACFT APCH THE AIRSTRIP WITH EXCESSIVE SPEED. TOUCHDOWN ON THE RWY WAS BEYOND THE HALFWAY POINT & THE ACFT BOUNCED BACK INTO THE AIR. POWER WAS APPLIED FOR AN APPARENT GO-AROUND. THE ACFT CLEARED TALL TREES AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY, BUT CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN A NOSE-HIGH ATTITUDE, 'SHAKING AND YAWING.' THE ACFT THEN FELL OFF ON THE LEFT WING & ROLLED 180 DEGREES TO A VERTICAL ATTITUDE BEFORE GROUND IMPACT. A POST-IMPACT FIRE IMMEDIATELY ENSUED, TOTALLY CONSUMING THE WOOD & FABRIC COMPONENTS OF THE ACFT. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE ELEVATOR TRIM TAB WAS IN THE FULL NOSE-UP POSITION. BELLANCA PERSONNEL REPORTED THAT WITH THE ELEVATOR TRIM IN THAT POSITION & WITH FULL POWER APPLIED, CONTROL FORCES TO REDUCE THE PITCH WOULD BE VERY HIGH & WOULD PROBABLY REQUIRE BOTH HANDS. CAUSE:
