What happened
A private pilot was attempting a southwesterly departure from an off-airport landing site measuring 650 feet in length. Approximately halfway through the takeoff roll, the aircraft became airborne. However, the aircraft failed to reach an altitude sufficient to clear a stand of willow trees located at the end of the takeoff area.
The pilot reported that the aircraft was flying at an altitude of approximately 5 to 6 feet when strong winds pushed the plane into the trees. At the time of the accident, the pilot noted wind conditions were from the southwest at 15 knots, with peak gusts reaching 20 knots.
