The airplane collided with trees during an aborted takeoff on a 2,700-foot long by 160-foot wide grass airstrip. The pilot reported that during takeoff at an altitude of about 30 feet agl, the engine rpm decreased and the airspeed was not increasing. He reported that during the aborted takeoff the airplane "bounced once hard and floated back up 20 ft." The airplane touched down again in a nose down attitude and the propeller contacted the ground. The airplane then veered to the right and contacted trees along the right edge of the airstrip. The engine functioned normally during a post accident test run.
Probable Cause: The pilot did not properly flare the airplane during the aborted takeoff and he failed to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing roll. Factors associated with the accident were the partial power loss for undetermined reasons and the trees that the airplane contacted.
