The aircraft was to take off from an airstrip for agricultural use, located in Rodeio Farm, Sorriso, MT, at around 10:30 UTC, in order to apply pesticides.
During the takeoff attempt, just after leaving the ground, the aircraft crashed into a cotton plantation that was in the extension of the landing area. The aircraft had substantial damage and the pilot was uninjured.
It appeared that an incorrect flap selection associated with a tailwind resulted in a required distance that exceeded the available runway distance.
