Read the full NTSB narrative
As the aircraft was taking off from runway 18 (2,600 feet by 90 feet, turf), the flight encountered a gust of wind from the north. The gust caused a decrease in airspeed and the airplane descended and impacted terrain in a planted cornfield near the departure end of the runway. No mechanical problems with the airplane were reported prior to the accident.
