Incident Details
Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft's right wing dragged along the ground. The aircraft then cartwheeled and came to rest against a tractor. The exact time of day and weather conditions were not specified.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that he began a turn at 500 ft above ground level (AGL) and the aircraft entered an accelerated stall. He stated that he was traveling at 100 mph and that prevailing winds turned the aircraft to the right, causing the wing to strike the ground.
Passenger Report
A passenger reported that the aircraft became airborne at a speed of 60-70 mph. At an altitude of 30-40 ft AGL, the pilot began a right climbing turn. The passenger's account aligns with the sequence of events but mentions a lower altitude for the initiation of the turn compared to the pilot's report.
Sequence of Events
The aircraft departed and shortly after becoming airborne, a right climbing turn was initiated. The right wing subsequently made contact with the ground, leading to a cartwheel motion. The aircraft eventually came to rest against a tractor. The pilot attributed the wing strike to prevailing winds, while also acknowledging an accelerated stall condition.
