THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE TOOK OFF IN A WESTERLY DIRECTION FROM A PRIVATE, GRASS STRIP THAT WAS BORDERED BY WIRES AND TREES AT THE WEST END. HE SAID THAT THE AIRPLANE REACHED AN ALTITUDE OF APPROXIMATELY 50' ABOVE THE GROUND AND WOULDN'T CLIMB ANY HIGHER. HE FEELS THE AIRPLANE WOULDN'T CLIMB ANY HIGHER DUE TO A DOWNDRAFT CREATED BY A WESTERLY FLOW OF WIND OVER THE TREES LOCATED AT THE WEST END OF THE RUNWAY. THE AIRPLANE COLLIDED WITH THE WIRES AT THE WEST END OF THE FIELD AND CRASHED. NO PREIMPACT MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRPLANE WERE REPORTED BY THE PILOT.
Probable Cause: the pilot's inadequate preflight planning and preparation. A factor in the accident is the downdraft.
