THE PILOT USED FULL POWER AND 10 DEGREES OF FLAPS TO PERFORM A SHORT FIELD TAKEOFF FROM A SOD STRIP. HE ROTATED FOR TAKEOFF LESS THAN HALFWAY DOWN THE 1100 FT RUNWAY, THEN KEPT THE ACFT LOW TO ACCELERATE TO 80 KTS. HE THEN PULLED UP TO CLEAR A ROW OF 40 FT TREES. FOLLOWING THIS, HE LOWERED THE AIRCRAFT'S NOSE TO BUILD UP MORE AIRSPEED. DURING THIS MANEUVER, HIS LEFT WING HIT THE TOP OF A TREE IN A SECOND ROW OF TREES AND THE AIRCRAFT THEN FELL TO THE GROUND. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THE WINDS WERE FROM THE WEST AT 15 GUSTING 20 KTS.
