Narrative:
The airplane was damaged on contact with terrain during a wheels up, emergency landing after takeoff from runway 24. All five souls on-board were uninjured. The pilot stated, 'I put in full throttle, mixture [and] prop and accelerated. We rotated at 75-78 knots and accelerated to 93-95 knots. When I retracted the gear the plane went into a sharp left bank and then a right bank. I had limited control so I opted to land straight ahead. We landed gear up as there was no time to lower the gear.' The pilot rated passenger stated, 'Approximately when pilot retracted the gear the aircraft started banking to the left - I got on the controls with the pilot to level the wings [and] get the nose down. Control appear marginal at best [and] the aircraft was placed on the ground.'
