ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, HE LANDED AT HIS PRIVATE AIRSTRIP ABOUT FIVE MINUTES BEFORE THE ATTEMPTED TAKEOFF. HE PICKED UP TWO PASSENGERS AND COMPLETED ANOTHER ENGINE RUNUP CHECK. AS THE AIRPLANE ACCELERATED DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL, THE PILOT NOTICED THAT TAKEOFF RPM WAS NOT BEING DEVELOPED. THE PILOT ABORTED THE TAKEOFF ATTEMPT ABOUT 1000 FEET INTO THE TAKEOFF ROLL. THE AIRPLANE ROLLED OFF THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY AND NOSED OVER. EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE FAILED TO DISCLOSE A MECHANICAL PROBLEM; THE ENGINE OPERATED NORMALLY THROUGH ALL POWER RANGES DURING THE POST-ACCIDENT ENGINE RUN. A REVIEW OF WEATHER INFORMATION DISCLOSED THAT CONDITIONS WERE FAVORABLE FOR THE FORMATION OF CARBURETOR ICE.
