THE PILOT STATED THAT BEFORE TAKEOFF, HE PERFORMED A MAGNETO, PROPELLER, AND ENGINE INSTRUMENT CHECK. HE REPORTED THAT DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL ON A GRASS AIRSTRIP (2600' X 40'), THE AIRPLANE'S TAIL CAME UP APPROXIMATELY 800 FEET DOWN THE RUNWAY, BUT HE NOTICED THAT THE AIRPLANE WAS UNDERPOWERED. HE EXTENDED FULL FLAPS, AND THE AIRPLANE THEN BECAME AIRBORNE. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE THEN RETRACTED THE FLAPS AND REMAINED IN GROUND EFFECT, WHILE HE VERIFIED THE CONTROL SETTINGS OF THE MIXTURE, PROPELLER, AND THROTTLE. HE CONTINUED TO FLY FOR ABOUT 1000 FEET, BUT HE STATED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO GAIN EITHER ALTITUDE OR AIRSPEED. WITH TREES AHEAD, THE PILOT DUMPED HIS LOAD OF CHEMICALS AND MANEUVERED TO THE LEFT; HOWEVER, THE AIRPLANE STALLED AND IMPACTED THE GROUND. NO MECHANICAL ANOMALIES WERE FOUND DURING A POSTACCIDENT EXAMINATION.
Probable Cause: failure of the pilot to obtain the proper flying speed or to abort the takeoff, while there was sufficient runway remaining, which resulted in an inadvertent stall.
