Incident Overview
On departure, the pilot stated that the landing gear would not retract fully and the engine did not seem to be producing full power. He elected to return to the airport.
Sequence of Events
During the turn from base to final approach, flaps were extended to the full position. The sink rate became excessive, and the flaps were retracted to 10 degrees. This did not effectively decrease the sink rate, so the throttle was pushed full in. The aircraft touched down approximately 100 yards short of the runway.
Outcome
After touching down short of the runway, the aircraft collided with a ditch, then went through a fence, nosed over, and came to rest inverted.
