Incident Overview
A pilot reported landing an airplane on a sandbar to have lunch. During a subsequent takeoff attempt, the aircraft failed to accelerate sufficiently, prompting the pilot to abort the takeoff. As the airplane slowed, the main wheels encountered deep sand, resulting in a nose-over. The accident caused substantial damage to the tail and a lift strut.
Pilot Account
