Accident Details
The pilot reported that during takeoff on a grass runway, after lift-off, he noticed he was unable to climb at a normal rate. He lowered the nose of the airplane, but the airspeed remained "dangerously low" and the stall horn sounded intermittently. He reduced power to abort the takeoff, but there was insufficient runway remaining. The airplane touched down, overran the runway, and the left wing impacted a tree. The airplane then spun 180 degrees before coming to rest.
