THE ACFT BOUNCED SEVERAL TIMES ON LANDING FOLLOWING AN EXCESSIVELY HIGH FAST APPROACH. THE PLT ADDED POWER TO RECOVER BY ABORTING THE LANDING. THE PLT STATED THE FAILURE TO USE RIGHT RUDDER RESULTED IN THE ACFT VEERING TO THE LEFT AND THE FAILURE TO RETRACT FLAPS PREVENTED THE ACFT FROM CLIMBING HIGHER THAN SEVERAL FT AGL. THE PLT ALSO FAILED TO REMOVE CARBURETOR HEAT. THE ACFT CONTACTED SEVERAL SMALL TREES ALONGSIDE THE RWY FOLLOWED BY THE TERRAIN.
