While landing on a grass turf runway, the pilot lost directional control and attempted a go-around. During the attempted go-around, the airplane stalled and impacted the terrain. The pilot stated the airplane touched down on the runway centerline, and then drifted to the left. The pilot attempted a go-around; however, shortly after the airplane became airborne, the left wing dropped and impacted the terrain. At the time of the accident, the airport manager reported the wind was a direct crosswind from approximately 110 degrees at 15 knots and gusting. On his NTSB Form 6120.1/2, Recommendation (How Could This Accident Have Been Prevented) section, the pilot reported, "Better control by pilot during crosswind landing."
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed during the attempted go-around resulting in an inadvertent stall. A contributing factor was the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the crosswind landing.
