Accident Details
The pilot reported that during the landing on a 2,175 ft grass runway, the airplane ballooned. He pushed the nose down, but the airplane floated and touched down about midfield. He briefly touched the brakes, then decided to go around. He raised the flaps to the takeoff position and added full power.
Climb Performance Issues
According to the pilot, "the delay of power in the diesel and high temperature did not allow for enough climb performance." The left wing aerodynamically stalled and the airplane impacted vegetation.
Environmental Conditions
The pilot reported that the wind was light and variable, temperature was 32°C (90°F), and density altitude was 2,000 ft.
Aircraft Damage
The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and fuselage.
Mechanical Status
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
