A witness observed the aircraft take off from runway 18. According to the witness, after the aircraft reached an altitude of about 50 feet, it entered a steep right climbing turn, estimated at about 45-degree angle of bank. Reportedly, the airplane stalled, and collided with the ground in a nose down, right wing low attitude. According to the pilot, he saw another aircraft headed toward him, made a 90-degree right turn with full flaps, encountered turbulence and a downdraft, and collided with the ground. Review of surface weather information for the time period of the accident, revealed no record of turbulence, downdrafts, gusts, or windshear.
Probable Cause: failure of the pilot to maintain adequate airspeed, while maneuvering after takeoff, which resulted in an inadvertent stall and subsequent in-flight collision with terrain.
