Read the full NTSB narrative

The airplane was substantially damaged during a hard landing following an aborted takeoff. The pilot reported that the run-up, takeoff roll, and lift-off were normal. He stated that upon reaching a height about equal to the surrounding trees, the airplane settled due to a "loss of full power, wind condition or some other factor." He stated that he pulled power and executed a hard landing near the end of the runway. He did not report the direction used for the takeoff. The pilot reported that witnesses on a nearby golf course said that the airplane did not sound right.
