THE PILOT HAD JUST TAKEN OFF FROM A SAND BAR. DURING CLIMB-OUT ON THE DOWNWIND LEG, HE FELT THE ENGINE WAS NOT PRODUCING THE PROPER POWER BECAUSE THE AIRSPEED WAS DROPPING AND THE CLIMB HAD STOPPED. HE MADE A LEFT TURN AND CRASH LANDED ON THE SAND BAR TO AVOID A FULL STALL. NO MECHANICAL PROBLEM WAS FOUND WITH THE AIRPLANE.
