Accident Sequence
The pilot initiated a takeoff from a 3,600-foot-long turf runway but limited the takeoff roll to the final 700 to 800 feet. This decision was necessitated by grass and mud covering other portions of the strip. As the aircraft reached the end of the runway, the pilot rotated to avoid a fence. However, the airplane was unable to maintain a climb after rotation.
Collision and Damage
Beyond the fence, the aircraft entered an area of unimproved terrain. It collided with the ground and struck a concrete water trough. The impact caused the airplane to come to rest in a nose-down attitude. All three landing gear collapsed during the accident sequence.
Runway Conditions
The runway was a turf strip measuring 3,600 feet in length. Grass and mud were present on portions of the runway, prompting the pilot to use only the last portion for the takeoff attempt. No other runway characteristics are specified.
No injuries or fatalities are mentioned in the available information. The aircraft sustained damage to its landing gear and likely other structural components, but a detailed damage list is not provided.
