Takeoff and Climb
A pilot initiated a takeoff on a grass runway with calm winds. He reported becoming airborne after approximately 1,600 feet, then retracted the landing gear and remained level to accelerate. He then started a climb, which he suggested may have been too steep.
Stall and Impact
The airplane stalled and fell off on the right wing. The right wing contacted the ground, and the airplane cartwheeled into trees.
Environmental Conditions
The temperature was reported to be 75 degrees Fahrenheit. The pilot stated the airplane was near its maximum gross takeoff weight and the grass on the runway was a little high. The runway was 2,200 feet long with trees at both ends and an undulating surface.
