Read the full NTSB narrative

THE ACFT STALLED AND COLLIDED WITH THE GROUND SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF FROM LACONIA AIRPORT. THE INITIAL CLIMB WAS 'OK' ACCORDING TO THE PLT UNTIL THE AIRCRAFT REACHED TREE TOP LEVEL AT 70 TO 100 FT AGL AT WHICH TIME THE AIRSPEED SEEMED TO LEVEL OFF AND THE AIRCRAFT STOPPED CLIMBING. THE PILOT MADE A LEFT TURN, THE CLIMB STOPPED AND THE AIRCRAFT DESCENDED WITH THE AIRSPEED, ALTITUDE AND ENGINE POWER DECREASING. THE AIRCRAFT THEN PITCHED DOWN ABRUPTLY FROM 25 FT AGL AND CONTACTED THE TERRAIN.
