While taking off on a sod runway, the airplane became airborne at an airspeed of about 75 mph. As the airplane climbed to an altitude of about 30-40 feet above the ground, the pilot 'flattened' the climb angle to gain more airspeed. The nose of the airplane then fell and the wing dropped. The airplane descended and impacted the ground. The uncertificated pilot reported about 300 total hours of flight experience, with about 100 hours in make and model.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane while taking off.
