JUST AFTER LIFT-OFF DURING A DOWNWIND DEPARTURE THE PILOT DECIDED THAT THE ACFT WAS NOT CLIMBING NORMALLY AND ABORTED THE TAKE-OFF AT MID-FIELD. THE PILOT REDUCED POWER AND EXTENDED 40 DEGREES OF FLAPS. THE PILOT THEN DECIDED THAT HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RELAND AND ADDED FULL POWER AND RETRACTED THE FLAPS TO 10 DEGREES. UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ALTITUDE THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH THE TERRAIN APRX ONE QUARTER MILE FROM THE RUNWAY. THERE WERE NO REPORTED MECHANICAL FAILURES OR MALFUNCTIONS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT.
