Takeoff and Wind Encounter
The pilot reported that during the takeoff roll on runway 21, the wind shifted from the west, becoming a right crosswind. The pilot stated: "Holding the right wing down, I felt I would be better off airborne, so [I] lifted the airplane off. [The] wind pushed me left of [the] runway. I kept trying to force [the] airplane to fly, but didn't have enough airspeed."
Attempt to Regain Airspeed
According to the pilot, a slight left turn was made toward lower ground in an effort to gain airspeed. The pilot said: "From [an] estimated height of 20-30 feet, [the] stall warning horn began blaring, airplane mushed into [the ground] - no breakover from stall."
Post-accident Examination
An examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies.
