While climbing out after takeoff, at an altitude of approximately 300 to 350 feet, the airplane started to descend. The pilot recognized this as windshear and prepared for a forced landing. In an effort to avoid trees and a residential area ahead, the pilot turned the airplane to the right, and performed a forced landing to a field. Upon touching down hard in the field, the airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted. The pilot added that he observed the windsock prior to takeoff as indicating a northwest wind at 15 knots, and that the engine was developing full power during the flight. The winds recorded by an ASOS at the airport, about 30 minute prior to the accident were from 190 degrees, at 11 knots. The winds reported about 30 minutes after the accident were from 200 degrees, at 10 knots, gusting to 19 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilots inadvertent encounter with a downdraft wind condition and the airplane's inability to climb, which resulted in a forced landing. A factor related to the accident was the downdraft wind conditions.
