Incident Overview
A pilot reported that during the takeoff initial climb, after ascending above the tree line, the airplane encountered what he described as "a strong quartering tailwind." The stall warning horn activated, and the airplane began to descend to the left. The pilot responded by lowering the nose, and the airplane touched down in the grass area along the left side of the runway surface, then bounced.
Pilot Report
After the bounce, the pilot reduced engine power. The airplane touched down again in the grass area on the left side of the runway. During the second touchdown, the airplane went onto the nose-wheel and the left main landing gear. The pilot applied right rudder, successfully steering the airplane back onto the runway, where it came to a stop.
Aircraft Damage
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported that about the time of the accident, the wind at the accident site was calm.
Additional Information
The pilot stated that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
