Pilot Account

The pilot reported becoming airborne approximately midfield. After rising a few feet, the acceleration felt sluggish. At midfield, the pilot noticed a reduction in power but continued the takeoff. Subsequently, the airplane settled toward the runway, then accelerated and rose again. The stall warning horn activated, leading the pilot to level off in ground effect to gain speed. The pilot maneuvered to avoid runway end lights and a truck on the service road beyond the runway end. The aircraft struck the ground near the service road and nosed over, causing substantial damage.

Engine Examination

An examination of the engine revealed no anomalies that would have prevented it from producing power.
