What happened
During a takeoff roll on a dirt runway, the pilot reported that the normally aspirated engine did not produce enough power to climb over terrain located next to the airstrip. The aircraft initially became airborne at an airspeed of 65 knots, climbing only between 2 and 4 feet above the surface before settling back onto the runway.
The pilot continued the takeoff roll, and after reaching 70 knots, the aircraft became airborne a second time. As the airplane passed the departure end of the runway, the landing gear struck a perimeter boundary fence. Following this impact, the aircraft collided with gradually rising terrain.
At the time of the accident, there was no wind or turbulence, and the temperature was 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Calculations based on these conditions indicated a density altitude of approximately 7,900 feet.
