Pilot Report
According to the pilot, the airplane performed sluggishly as he was making an approach to land. He flew onto final approach and noted a crosswind from left to right of about 5 to 7 knots. He continued the approach in a 'slip' position without intentionally slipping. With his hands off the controls, the nose was approximately 10 degrees off to the left of the runway. He stated that no amount of right rudder would align the airplane with the runway.
Go-Around and Impact
At an altitude of about 40 to 50 feet above the ground, the pilot decided to go around. He reported that the airplane gained about 50 feet of altitude, then it descended and veered off to the right. Subsequently, the airplane impacted in a marsh area and nosed over.
Post-Impact Examination
An examination revealed that an aileron cable had separated. However, there was evidence that the separation occurred during impact. No preimpact part failure or malfunction was found.
